Bontrager Premium Tube

This is my spare tube. I have not used it yet. When I use it I will come back and write a full review.

Before going tubeless I used these for years. I currently keep a tube in my pack just in case. $8 for a tube is a bit ridiculous

Pros
Durable

Cons
$$$$

I have had good success with these tubes. Seem to last longer then other brands.

I run these because it seems to be all my LBS has. They are made of rubber and hold air so I'm happy!

Pros
-They get round when you blow air into them.
-Haven't had any issues with chronic flats

Cons
-Smell funny

My favorite LBS sells Specialized tubes. Never really considered there would be a differance in tubes, but I would pop the Specialized tubes about once a week with no damage to the tires running between 45-50#. I stopped at another LBS close to where I work and they sold me a Bontrager tube which I found to last me much much longer! Now I buy tubes at that LBS!

Pros
Its a tube

Good tubes and were the only ones I used when I used tubes. The only problem is they seem to pinch flat fairly easily due to how light they are.

Pros
Holds air, fairly light, good quality control

Cons
pinch flats easily

I worked in a bike shop for 2.5 years and we sold these tubes and installed them all day, every day. I can count on one hand the number of defective tubes we had. These tubes are great and aren't too thick and aren't too thin.

Pros
Lightweight
High Quality
Comes in all shapes and sizes

Cons
None
