I have these tubes on a Specialized Crosstrail Sport. Size tire/tube is 700x45c. I will list the only con - they're big (take up space in a bag), and a little heavy. If you're like me - my bike is lighter than its 30 yr old Schwinn predecessor, but its not a carbon road bike. I have a Topeak touring rack, carry some bags - so super light weight isn't an issue for me. I ride to get from point A to B, to burn calories instead of gasoline, and I carry bulky stuff while doing it. I ride in all weather, on road, gravel, caliche, and light trail. I went from fixing flats once a week to no flats and virtually bullet proof. My tubes have the Schrader valves, so I haven't had any issues with the valve seating correctly.

Update 5/18/11
Been riding on these tube for several months. Not one flat. HIGHLY recommend.

This review is from: Avenir Thorn-Resistant Schrader Valve 700c Tube (700x35-45) (Sports)

I bought this tube after getting 6 flats in 1 month. I also used a puncture proof liner. PROS: It WORKS GREAT. I Ran over 5 thorns and just pulled each one out no problems. Another time, I rode through some soft sand that was loaded with thorns, and just pulled each one out. About 10 thorns in the front tire and another 10 in the rear.
CONS: In the morning the rear tire was flat. So I guess it wasn't quite full proof, but it got me home because it slowly deflated over night.
Another con was, the tubes are THICK, VERY THICK. YOU WILL FEEL IT. The added thickness makes pedaling MUCH HARDER. Lots of rolling resistance. You will ride about 2 to 5 mph slower with these. It will feel like someone put 20 lbs weights on each wheel. To alleviate this a little make sure you inflate these tubes to just under max or 60 lbs pressure. That will help some. DON'T BOTHER BUYING THE SOLID ROBBER TIRES. They are even worse. You're better off just carrying a spare tube, pump and tools with you. After the rear tire went flat, I replaced the rear with a regular tube and the Liner, and now the ride is so much quicker. And I left the front with the thicker Avenir tube and the Liner. And now it's the perfect balance. I thought there might have been a puncture proof warranty on these tubes, but I can't find the box. Good Luck!

This review is from: Avenir Thorn-Resistant Schrader Valve 700c Tube (700x35-45) (Sports)

I ordered three tubes of the same size. Two of them were defective. The part of the rubber tube near the Valve, is apparently so thick that it doesn't inflate like the rest of the tube leaving about a 1" area that does not fill out completely when inflated. Also, the tube was substantially larger in diameter then what it should be to provide a good fit (I used the tubes on a 700X45 tire).

Regardless of the problems above, I did install one of the defective tubes, and the non defective tube on my bike. After 75 miles of riding, I've had no problems with the tubes.

Having the tubes with the Schrader Valve was helpful; as I installed some slime in the tires, which would have been impossible with the other valve configuration.

I'm giving the product a three star rating; because, even with the defect and size problem the tires are working on the bike, and I have not had any problems with them. In addition, I ride my bike in areas where flats are almost guaranteed and with the thorn resistand tires and adding the slime, I've so far have not had any flats.

I hope this review was helpful.
