I am a recreational biker and these tubes have never let me down.
I was able to use VIP Points to buy these tubes so the only cost was for shipping. Makes them a real value and they are a great product besides.
I find they lose air a little faster than some other tubes.
Great price on these standard tubes. Don't waste your time on superlight tubes, stick to these standard ones. I've been riding them for years, including gravel roads, with very few flats. Most of the flats I got were from glass or other sharp objects which would have punctured any tube regardless. Stock up when they go on sale, and ride worry free!
Quality built tube
My bikes have the full gamut of tubeless and tube-type wheels. In some tube wheels, weight is a big deal to me. In some, such as touring and townie bikes, durability is the key. These tubes are durable, long-lasting, and perfectly happy spending months in a zippered sandwich bag with a shot of talc while waiting to be put in service. They're not lightweight. They don't feel zippy. But when I'm changing a flat in the rain with cold fingers, I'm not worried about tearing a tender tube with tire levers.
No problems so far. I prefer the smooth valve stem over threaded stems.
I like this shorter stem version with the removable valve core. I've never had a problem with a Kenda tube. They're light enough, strong enough, no surprises when I'm sitting road-side in the rain and darkness falling.
Sometimes I go through a lot of tubes on my 2006 Trek Madone 5.2 due to road conditions in the Southern California high desert. Kenda 700x23c is a great value and does the job for me every time.
Work great so far. Good value.
No pops haven't had to replace my tubes in awhile
Inner tubes are all pretty standard I think, having not seen much difference between the less and more expensive tubes. This Kenda serves my riding well
This tube fits in my wheel
Being a road cyclist in Florida, there is a lot of road debris that plays havoc on your tires and tubes. I went through 4 tubes in 7 miles at one point a month ago in and around the Clermont. The tubes is easy to install on the side of the road and lasts a long time given your ability to avoid road debris.
Easy to install. Performs well
Thousands of miles on some pretty tough Oregon roads means I go through plenty of tubes - these are the ones that hold up best. And with Western's sale prices and quantity discounts, they're an incredible value!
These are pretty basic tubes. Which is why I like them. I like my tubes to last through a couple patchings and these hold up well. They're a good price, are durable, and weigh a reasonable amount. They also offer them in a ton of sizes and stem lengths which is helpful.
One tube leaked air out of box so I ended up using the original 30 year old tube. The second tube went flat on me today with less than 50 miles on it. I removed the tire and found that nothing had punctured it. I found two holes in the tube on the rim tape side.
If you are looking for basic, economical tubes with long valve stems (80mm) to fit deep rims, these Kendas do just fine. They seemed to be slightly more prone to puncture flats when I was using open tubular-style clincher tires, but are holding up much better now that I've switched to a pair of Conti GP4000s.
I purchased the smooth valve stems and love them. Threads seem to serve me no purpose. The pump head and CO2 inflator head slides off easily. I've used probably half a dozen tube brands but I really like these. I don't have to burp the valve before inflating, which is a small detail I enjoy. Bottom line, great product and price.
