Product Size and Fit

Pros:

  • "Plus I got it on sale for less than $4 so the price couldn't be beat."
  • "The best part was that it fit my daughter's smaller bike like a glove, making the installation process a breeze."
  • "They easily installed and fit was perfect and once they was installed properly have had no issues of leaking down and no flats so far."

Cons:

  • "This product was too big for my kids bike. I bought this based on the fact that my kids bike has a 16 inch wheel and the title of the product states 'universal'. However, the Tire is way too big for the rim."
  • "The tube seamed to be too big for my tire even though it matched my specs."
  • "Not sure how or why, but these are too big in diameter by well over an inch."
  • "I had a flat in the middle of a ride of a cold night and were relying on this spare for get home. To my unfortunate surprise after trying to install it I noticed that the valve was way too short to fit my bike (which is fairly regular)."

Valve Quality

Pros:

  • "After installing the product, I noticed that the quality was truly there with the stem."
  • "Holds pressure for a long time and doesn't seem to have any blowout bubbles around the air nozzle base after inflating."

Cons:

  • "I changed my wife's bike over from road tires to hybrid tires and figured I would replace the tubes at the same time. Pretty straightforward... it is a tire tube... the issue I had is with the valve stem."
  • "Installed and rode about 13 miles before the valve stem started leaking. Not sure why, it was screwed in tight and could not be tightened further."
  • "This tire was flat 5 minutes into our stroller walk. Under further examination, the valve stem was leaking."
  • "I have to put air in the tube every time I ride my bike, and the presta valve are ridiculous."
  • "Just opened up the tube, installed it, all to realize that the presta valve is tiny and I can’t fully latch on the valve with my pump."
  • "Both tubes leak same way, right around stem valves."
  • "From the time I installed the tubes one of the tubes leaked air from the valve core."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

  • "What genuinely surprised me was the incredibly affordable price, especially given the top-notch quality of these tubes."
  • "So far tube survived extreme temperatures and 300+ miles in 3+ weeks!"
  • "I've been riding my bike five times a week to work on streets of San Francisco that are full of glass. I used to have flats almost every week. These tubes last months."

Cons:

  • "Cheap but rubber is very thin and didn't last long due to a weak spot in the rubber."
  • "The tubes on my older bike are 10-15 years old and have no problem, but these newer tubes are junk."
  • "I have purchased four of these in the last month. Three have gone flat in the last 2 weeks."
  • "This is the worst product that I had ever bought. 2.5 miles on a mild gravel road the tire blew."
  • "I would never buy this again you’re better off buying slime inner tubes."
  • "I’ve always had issues with bell tubes, not lasting very long but this is the last time I ever buy from them."
  • "Definitely trash was riding my bike and the tire just went flat all a sudden hole in tube near what looks like a seem πŸ€” checked the tire itself no holes nothing appears as it tube is defective guess that's why there so cheep."

Installation and Use

Pros:

  • "Restored some old road bikes over the summer. These tubes went into the new tires easily, didn't have any issues with pinching getting them onto the rim. Road quite a bit and had no flats, wobbles, or issues."
  • "My husband overfilled and accidentally popped my bike tire using a faulty gauge, hence had to take on the project of replacing both the tire and tube. He found this tube on Amazon, and it was an easy installation he said."
  • "Install and replacement was easy. Now, holds air and daughter is happy."
