ContinentalRace Light Road Tube(Return to Product Page)

I use this tube on an old Softride Firestorm converted to a trailroad bike on Spinergy rims. Lots of gravel and road debri. No issues so far.

Awesome !

Great product keeps the pressure almost all week.

Touring and road riding in the city - lots of glass. tires have good puncture resistance yet light weight.

Nothing too remarkable, other than they work great.

Use these tubes in a racing or training application. They have a great feel, and conti makes their tubes without seams which makes patching a breeze.

Safe choice among the lighter inner tubes.

These are pretty much risk free in spite of their weight. I rarely flat. Every once in a while, a tube will burst during inflation after installation. Probably user error...

Been using this tube for years mostly with Vittoria Rubino Pro's with a fairly high PSI (110-120). I get pretty good milage out of these on my road bike, commuter bike, and track bike.

Not the lightest tubes but does it matter if they minimize flats.

Works great as a spare or main tire. I like using latex tubes for racings but these are my go-to spare because they are a bit more durable and can withstand some knocking about in the saddlebag or jersey pocket.

Two in a row burst while inflating - had barely gotten up to 90psi

Both the tubes I ordered split along the seam during initial inflation, one immediately and the other overnight.

I got these this year since I've started racing as well as doing more high climb centuries (9000 - 11,000 ft) to save weight. However, I'm switching back to Tour 700s because I've been having so many pinch flats during training rides. The rural roads around here have plenty of potholes, rocks, debris, etc. and I got stranded 50 miles from home yesterday with two pinch flats (one on my rear tire and then another on my spare).

Have used these Continental Race light tubes in 700x25 (Michelin) racing and training tires for several years. No problems. Stems work well with screw-on, shop and bike-mounted, pumps (Lezyne.) Sometimes I deflate slightly after ride, sometimes I just leave them at 110 psi. Doesn't seem to make any difference. (Although I still feel, from the old sew-days, that stretched rubber should be allowed to rest after a ride.) I would give it 5-stars except can't see calling any plain-ol' bike tube awesome and a steal. ,-

Very light but very fragile

I use these on all my road bikes and love them. They are light and reliable.

Very light but very fragile

I purchased 2 of these tubes. 1 burst at only .66 miles into my ride and sounded like a firecracker! Seam split. The other held up for the ride but I may remove it. They leak air like crazy 20lbs over night. I will not buy these again.

Being using these for a while now, haven't had any issues. Conti FTW!
