VredesteinRace Road 700c Tube(Return to Product Page)

Very bulky, much more so than my favorites, the Kenda superlight. Other than that they do everything an innertube needs to do and they are about 2/3s the cost of the Kenda long stem tubes which I need.

bought 8 mounted 4 already replaced 2 before even riding...the seam on both valves leaked. Need better quality control.

No Flats in one summer season of commute.

The stem was the absolute perfect length for my carbon rims. It is made of quality materials and performed well. No issues at all.

Apparently all but 50mm length comes with a removable valve core.

Be warned - for some reason Vred measures size including the needle, so they run short.

They are pre-dusted with something like talc which is nice - i've been having problems with tubes bonding with tires otherwise.

I've only purchased two of these tubes, so my experience is limited. The first one died when i locked up my brakes and my rear tire flatted while making an emergency stop going downhill fast. Not the tubes' fault. The valve on the second one is having trouble seating properly. I finished my first ride with it and the tire was quite low. Investigation showed the tube leaked around the valve stem. It would hold air until i screwed down the nut, then it would leak. After refilling the tire and pressing the nut repeatedly, it seemed to hold pressure ok. Not sure what the problem iswas. I'll check to see if it's holding air before my next ride.

Good to use. Nothing really stands out.

Light weight

Long stem for deep dish wheels

Great price.

hard to evaluate tubes, when you get flats it's usually the tire that gets blamed. but these seem good.

bought 2 of these. They both leaked around cruddy glue job near valve stem before even getting them fully installed. Junk. Love the tires, hate the tubes.

Have tried some of the other brands such as Sunlite and have gone back to Verdestein which seem to not only keep air better but also seem to have less issues with flats. A very reliable tube that I use in my Zipp 404 wheels without requiring me to use a stem adapter.

I do lot of bike lane riding. It seems to be the first place where glass and sharp objects end up and the last place that gets clean. I don't like fixing flats. These tubes are really tolerant of the junk, I love using them for that reason. The slightly higher weight gives me that much more training.

I bought these tubes over the less expensive option after calling the customer service number and determining that these are the only tubes they could assure me had a removable valve core-important since I self-put sealant in my tubes. Probably worth it to verify that this is still true if you need a removable valve core. The tubes are a nice robust thickness and I have experienced no defective units-I ordered 6 tubes, have used 3 and inspected the rest.

Great quality longer stem tubes that really last long. These are easy to change with and are a great value for the 80MM air valve stem. I store them because I can't get them in many places but never seem to use them up because they last so long.

Vredestein precoats their tubes with powder. This helps because it won't stick to the tire and you're always in a hurry to swap out a tube when the whole group is waiting on you.

Good quality tube, not the lightest, but tough, and that's important.

I have used Vredestein tires and tubes for at least 8 years and have absolutely no complaints. I don't think you can go wrong with any Vredestein products, and these tubes are no exception. They are on my road bike, my wife's road bike, AND our road tandem (Co-Motion Speedster Co-Pilot)

I was impressed with the quality and construction. I wanted an 80mm smooth valve so I wouldn't have to mess with extenders on my 54mm carbon aero wheelset and these were the ticket. They installed easy and true and after 200 miles(three weeks time) no issues. Easy to pump up and they maintain air pressure as well as expected. all smiles here.

I like smooth valve stems as they do not tear up my Silca pump head and this tube has that type. Reasonably light and holds up well.
