Great pipe, Michelin quality

I live in the desert; Tires only deflate when exposed to the sun (very harsh conditions). I tried many brands and finally settled on a well known brand and it paid off. The bike is still holding pressure after 3 months of installation (before going flat at 15 days) and I'm using it full width (1.5 inches with tire).

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some issues

Whistle pipe

I tried the Avenir whistle but the result was terrible. This tube is the best I have found of its kind. Last year I drove nearly 6,000 miles through rural Maine. Especially in bad weather or in winter, apartments in the middle of nowhere are such a problem. Avenir whistles have shaft problems, these do not. Who cares what can make a difference on a long haul trip.

Pros
  • Heavy duty
Cons
  • Not the best

Don't let a cheap quality pipe spoil your commute!

The perfect quality inner tube for commuting because nobody ever wants to have a flat tire from driving on cheap tyres! driving many, many hundreds of miles without worrying about flat tires caused by anything other than nails and the like. Tip: instead of buying a latte, spend your money on a Michelin whistle and then enjoy your ride safely!

Pros
  • Beautifully packaged
Cons
  • Only available in white

First mile, pipe damage?

I bought these for my Trek mountain bike. I put narrow Ritchey street tires on. I bike daily (10 miles a day) and figured road tires would help. I did a test ride the night before (1 mile) and then parked my bike. In the morning the tire was flat and I found a strange hole. I refitted my mountain bike tires for my morning commute (I don't have a car) and emailed the company (ExcelCycle) and they sent me a replacement inner tube. I am very happy with ExcelCycle but not happy with this product.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Hard to say

I was converting my mountain bike into a city bike and needed 26 x 1.5 inch narrow high pressure slicks. 80psi with them and it works great with my gauge Presta floor pump (my Schraeder valve bike pump didn't have a gauge). and I'm ready to go! I think this is a great purchase for my particular application.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

manufacturing defect; Was it a bad batch or a systemic issue?

I bought two of these tubes in part because I thought Michelin knew the tires and the specs listed them as being a bit thicker than some of the cheaper options. Unfortunately, both tubes had a manufacturing defect. There was a weak point where the valve was welded to the tube. The weakness showed up as small dimples on either side of the valve stem, and in both cases one of the dimples ruptured. The first pipe exploded before I rolled it out the driveway. The second tube traveled about 100…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • something different
