These are great lightweight tube with a smooth valve stem in extended length for easy fill
My Handcycle manufactured by Top End - Invacare requires 26 x 78 tires and they are sometimes very difficult to find. Local bicycle shops do not carry them on hand.
I use these tubes in my race wheels (Zipp 404 front, 808 rear w/ extender). Only ever had one issue in 2019 IMLP when I ran over a piece of wire in the road that flatted both front and rear leaving a nice sized indication in both tires (thankfully I was at mile 101). I don't think any tube would have survived that. These are dependable tubes that have served me well for many years and races,
I like lighter tubes and I run wider tires on my road bike. I have had trouble with latex tubes, so I stick to the regular rubber tubes. I just don't have any issues with these tubes and their reliability.
Been riding for more than 20 years. I've used all the brands. These are the best in my opinion.
These are versatile tubes that have a removable core allowing you to install valve extenders for deeper wheels.
I love new tires and tubes! Bike feels and handles better. I'll get over 1500 good, hard miles over smooth and some substantially rough surfaces.
I purchased three of these w 80 mm stems from a LBS. The first two ruptured during inflation when the pressure was between 100 and 120 psi. Both split down the side as if it split along a seam. The third one inflated with no problems and has been working well.
smooth shaft, pump head pops off when reach about 100 psi. must use adapter
Tubes are fantastic! Installed with ease and perform super!
Used it on Ride the Rockies 2014 and Triple Bypass in CO. Had few flats yet this year but may use a heavier tire with some slime next year
These are always consistently a great choice in tubes!!!

While not the lightest tube, the Race Light, has the advantages of weighing less than standard tubes, and, this is crucial, seems to hold air pressure as well as or better than standard tubes.
Excellent tubes, very light, a little expensive. Will keep looking for a cheaper vendor.
i needed a handful of inner tubes just so i dont have to go to a shop and i got 6 because there was an extra discount on orders over 5, great deal, would buy again
A tube that I can count on to be reliable over time
These tubes a consistently good. The valve on them are the best I've seen on any tube. Some valves can't handle pump heads well, but these valves are outstanding in that department.
A quality light-weight tube. Does what it should. Not stupid expensive.
The only potential negatives to me are the price and the box size. The Vittoria tube is very similar, cheaper, and comes in a small enough package to fit in your jersey pocket.
I have trained and raced with the Conti Race Lights for years. Over the past year or so, something drastic in terms of the quality has changed! As many of the reviews below indicate, these tubes consistently fail at the valve connection. I have personally experienced this same defect no less than 7x over the past few months. Besides the frustration associated with changing multiple tubes during a training ride, it's EXPENSIVE! My suggestion, save your money & look into Michelin.
