🚲 2-Pack Continental Presta Valve Tubes (42mm) Review

I think these tubes are probably very strong etc but they don't fit my standard valve covers (both plastic and aluminium). All of these tubes have two different threads, one that the lock nut goes on and the other, smaller thread that the valve cap fits on. After screwing my little aluminum caps onto them, removing them resulted in the valve core popping out! It was fixable but painful to work with. Everything else about these cameras is top notch. I use them with Continental Gator heads, both…

Got a flat tire, bought these two packs as spares thinking I'll use one now and have a spare later for the inevitable flat tire. The hose exploded after I filled it with air during installation. Thinking I might have done something wrong (too high PSI, pinched, etc.) I took the replacement tube and my bike to the shop the next day and got the same result: the tube exploded after being installed by one Bicycle mechanic and filled with air. Maybe it was just a bad batch, there were no problems at

The front wheel chamber burst while turning. I believe that a product that is so important to rider safety should be tested more thoroughly before it is sold. I rode the tube for a little over a week before the inner tube popped out in the middle of a turn. I was driving at 20mph so yeah it hurt. I checked the rim tape and inspected my tires, but to my knowledge the only thing that could have caused the tube to burst was poor workmanship. The only reason I'm giving this review 2 stars is…

Great tubes. In my opinion if you have a problem with these tubes. This is a user error. Be sure to get some air in the pipe as you begin the installation process. Not much, just enough to fit in the tire. Little. Thus, the pipe does not interfere with the installation tools. Do not use a screwdriver. Use appropriate tools. If you are using tubes with a Presta valve, tighten the stem nut once you have installed the tube in the tire. This will prevent the tire from moving when mounted. Simply…
