Description:The product range of tubes for mountainbike tires is quite extensive. You'll find normal tubes as well as lightweight and ultra-lightweight tubes.
The famous latex-tubes provide increased puncture and snake-bite protection as well as reduced rolling resistance. Please note though that they also loose air pressure more rapidly than butyl tubes.

$ | | Purchased At: | | | Strengths: | Install it and forget it: cheap, durable, robust, reliable in all situations. | | Weaknesses: | Perhaps the weight, but on the other hand saving weight and material means less safety. And I prefer a safe setup! | | Similar Products Used: | Many. | | Bike Setup: | Hardtail. | | Bottom Line: | Since I installed these tubes nothing happened. It works and works and works, no matter where I´m riding and what I´m doing. I know some riders with latex or light tubes, and they sooner or later were in trouble with their thin and weak equipment: they crashed badly due to the tube exploding after a high impact landing or wasted time during a race with changing a flat, tears of embarrasment in their eyes and a royal muscle pain their arms while pumping up new tubes again and again. Well, I think safety should have priority. These tubes are not light but reduce the risk of faults for sure and help feeling more relaxed while riding - that´s decisive.
Install these tubes with talcum (works better, faster). I think, this product is worth five chilis.
