Continental 700X20 25C Bicycle Inner Tubes Review

The tire arms supplied are too short and have no slot to attach them to the wheel spoke when the bead is removed from the rim. I have no idea why Continental put their name on these tire levers as it demeans their brand.

I thought these tubes were great. Bought three and all fell apart within three miles. Three times I pushed the bike home, I will not buy any more theses. Stress cracks in the pipes led to breakage. Maybe it was a bad batch of tubes received at final inspection.

All three ran in about a month. I would go 20-30 miles on one and be fine, then I would ride the SAME TRAIL again and it would pop. Turn on the latter for a 72-mile trip and it had to be 52 miles DNF due to an impact. It's good if you only use your bike on pristine asphalt/roads with no imperfections. Otherwise just buy a better set of cameras and it will cost you less in the long run.

Hoses are hoses, there's no arguing about their durability. But ease of use is a headache when you're using a hand pump. When I try to pump them up I have to screw my pump onto them and even if I only do it one full turn I can't get them off without unscrewing the valve itself. The most annoying thing is spending 30 minutes inflating the tube. If you have a regular pump I doubt you will have the same problem.

All three packages ordered opened, only one package did not leak immediately after installation. But the schrader rod is very weak and won't hold even after tightening the gland nut. Both of the other hoses immediately leaked out of the rubber where it connects to the stem. They had microcracks. If you don't have the money to burn cash and enjoy walking around the house staring at flat tires as you push your bike down the street, avoid this product like the plague.

I don't know anyone who has a bicycle (two wheels) that can use 3 cameras at the same time. You buy an extra so you have a spare if one breaks. Trouble is, you won't know it's bad until the return date has passed. So basically you bought an extra handset for NOTHING! It's ridiculous that you try to plan accordingly in case you need a spare hose, which by the way is bound to happen (eventually), only to find it's useless. double whammy. Change your return policy for these items.

The best 700cx25 tire changers ever used don't pinch the tube and the tubes are great value. Other easy to burn reviews make no sense, inner tubes won't save you from punctures but good tires will protect your inner tubes. Examine and mark the puncture, ensure that the foreign body is removed and always seal the puncture. Remember that tire models are not created equal, find a tire design and even size to suit your needs. Search YouTube for tire reviews and their characteristics, and don't be…
