Review on Sunlite Thorn Resistant Bicycle Tube by Jon Larjin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Thick, heavy tube

I had a problem with my Mongoose XR-200 with flat tires. I drive a lot in the country and drive through thorn bushes and the regular cameras just can't take it. So far this has served the purpose as this tube now has over 50 miles (at the time of this review) of plate free service. I used protective inserts between the tire and tube and that didn't seem to stop some of the spikes from popping out. Slime will seal the holes well, but over time the tube will become useless. Let's see how well this product holds up over the coming months/miles of off-road riding as well as on the road/trail.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Safety
