I bought three thinking they would be a good replacement to my factory supplied Schwalbe tubes. My tires can take up to 100 psi but when I tried to inflate past 60 psi, they all failed by bursting at around the valve. There is nothing I can do other than throw them away. This is the worst quality tubes I ever used.

I often dont find it necessary to review a product if its good and already has many good reviews, or if its bad and negative reviews has already been given, but I am surprised to see such few
and unclear review for this product thus I thought I can share a thing or two.

Shipping was very fast, price is cheap, product works and had no problem to pump it up to 110psi for my road tire, valve seems strong unlike some which I have had in the past which would just torn apart when I try to remove the pump.

Unless you like to ride your bikes with very low pressure tires and always run into pinch flat (in that case you better have thicker & more durable tubes), then I would recommend these tires, they are a little thinner compare to other tubes I had, but like I said so far it works without any problem.

I bought at least 10 of these tubes from my LBS before I realized they were the reason I kept getting flats. I would get flats on the road, then I would change out the tube, finish my ride and they would go flat even when I was done with the ride and the bike was hanging on the wall. It made me crazy. I would patch the tube then fill it up and BOOM! a violent blow out. And this was only after putting in 100PSI in the tube. I changed out the rim tape, sanded down the spoke holes, changed tire brands, never used a tire lever to get the tires on/off still same thing happened. Flats on the inside of the tube facing the spoke holes or a violent blowout of the tube when I hit the smallest of depressions in the road. Do not buy these tubes, Giant is also selling them in their box but inside it is made by Kenda. I noticed my local LBS pulled all of them off the shelf in the last couple of weeks, coincidence? I realized it was the tubes bc I had the same problem in the front and back tires, until in the back tire I ran a different tube and I have not gotten a flat in 10 months, whereas in the front tire (which is usually a rare flat unless you hit a rock or pothole) I get a flat almost every other ride. The flats were not consistently on the rim side some were caused by minor depressions in the road, so I didn't catch it right away, until I realized I was no longer getting flats in the back tire even when I would hit little potholes or run over beer bottle glass. Sucks it took me a longtime to realize it was the brand of tube.

I bought these tubes and new tires to put on my wife's bike. Easy to install, feels like a quality tube. The don't seem to leak down like the old tubes did, even when new. Good price and quick delivery.

This tire went flat withing a day of installing it. After replacing it with another brand, which is still holding up. I discovered that the leak was through the valve stem and can not be patched or corrected. And as it would cost me more to return the item I decided to just accept that I got a bad one and more on. That isn't to say that there is anything wrong with the product line. I may have just gotten one bad one, with my sample size of one there is no way for me to tell.

I had a flat and took my bike to a shop. They put a Kenda tube in with a Kenda tire. On the first ride of about 1 mile over smooth roads, the tube blew out.

All of the information provided by Amazon matched what I received. This is a perfect fit for my golf cart. Now when the winter weather clears, back to playing golf.

We all know Kenda is famous for high quality at a low price so about all I can comment on it price. These guys sell cheap and deliver fast.

Great replacements, and, very reasonably priced. As durable and puncture-resist than tubes that cost twice as much. Overall, a great product.

I buy some of these every so often, but for me they serve a very specific purpose. The tubes are extremely thing and have pretty much zero resistance to flats, and for me that means I'm likely to get a flat at least once a week using these tubes. The nice thing though is that they fold up very small compared to some thicker tubes, and because of this I can easily fit one in my seat bag along with the other stuff I bring with me.

So I buy one or two of these every so often just to have one in my bag with me because a stronger and thicker tube wouldn't fit, and it's nice to have something besides just patches.
