    They are quite heavy in so far as tubes go so not a lightweight high performance tube but then what do you expect at that price. I find them fine, I've gone through about 2/3 tubes from the box of ten over 10k km commuting using gatorskins. I've heard people say they are not reliable and the valve comes apart from the tube easily but that's not been my experience.

    I'd buy again for commuting bike.

    Both a pack of ten of them. Five punctured on inflated - split at the seam.

    I've had loads and they been as reliable as any other brand.

    The valve snapped in half on one but that's about it.

    Ya, I bought a pack of ten early last year and they have lasted as long as any tubes I had bought previously. I'd definitely recommend them

    plus 1.Just ordered a pack of the long valve ones today granda.Use them all the time.Only small negative is that the long valve [60mm] are just that few mm shorter than some other tubes and it makes all the difference when your trying to pump 50mm deep sections.

    Nothing wrong with them. Have had them in my own and my gf's bike's tyres for a good while now. For commuting/training I'd say they're as good as anything else out there.

    Certainly no lightweights. Had absolutely no issues with the box I had once upon a time.

    My only issue with them is that they're a pain in the proverbial to inflate. Not sure why. Once they are up....no issues.

    I'll be buying a longer valve next time.
