Continental Race 28" Wide 700x25-32c Inner Tubes - 42mm Presta Valve (Pack of 2 w/Conti Sticker)

So far so good. I replaced my tires and inner tubes last season with Continental Gatorskins and Continental Race Tubes. I had not put many miles on when I unexpectedly had a flat in the rear. This was perplexing as the tires and tubes were so new. I removed the tire and found that there were two small slits(3/16") in the inner tube that were about an inch across from each other. They appeared to be on the seams of the inner tube. Maybe it was just a bad tube. Continental, if you're listening, you owe me a new tube.With that said, I replaced the tube with a new Conti Race Tube and all has been well so far. These appear to be very high quality. Rubber felt good and "fresh" if that makes sense. The Conti Gatorskin tires are also really nice too. I ride in an urban environment where the roads are not good(lots of bumps and sharp road gravel) and these have held up so far. Time will tell if these last, but I'm happy so far. Price seems okay when compared to other quality tubes. I inflate to around 85 psi.Install tip, I put a little bit of silicone grease on the inside bead of the rim to help promote tube movement during mounting and tire inflation. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PINCH THE TUBE WHEN INSTALLING THE TIRE! Happy riding!

Amazing tire. Instantly gained 1.5 mph from my old tires.

Good trail riding tub. No issue after about 500 miles.

I think these are good tubes. However, one of them had a bad presta valve. I had a presta core remover and some new presta valves to replace it with so, it's not that big of a deal. I think it's pretty common to get a bad presta valve on any brand of tube. I would have given it 5 stars if it didn't do that. I will still recommend the tubes but, have a presta core remover ready with some new presta valve cores.

It didn't come with any stickers. Not an issue for me as I didn't want any. Nothing unusual compared to other butyl inner tubes I've used. Been using it for 2 months now in a Gator Hardshell, and no leaks. Also maintains air pressure quite well.

These are really good tubes. They hold air for a while and valve is pretty good. Easy to install if you know what you are doing and very durable. I always ride with extra tubes.

Worth it

Review for: Continental Race 28" Wide 700x25-32c Inner Tubes - 42mm Presta Valve (Pack of 2 w/Conti Sticker)I am an avid cyclist and always keep a couple of spare tubes on-hand. I also always carry one when I ride. While looking for more tubes, I try to stick to name brands to avoid the unknowns of cheap/generic ones and I usually buy Kenda. Continental Gatorskin tires are my go-to tire and Continental is quality, so I thought I would try these out. I saw SO MANY negative reviews about blowouts and tires splitting at the seams that I was thinking these must be counterfeit. I bought these two tubes that supposedly come with a free sticker. I installed them both immediately so that hopefully any split seams or blowouts would happen within 30 days and I would seek a refund.These tubes look legit, work great, and easily hold 75psi. I have had no blowouts, no split seams, no issues whatsoever. They also hold air pressure just fine over time... as good or better than my Kendas.The more I think about it, I bet that many who leave bad reviews are likely buying the wrong tube. These tubes are quite small in tube diameter and are used for road bikes (the tube is about as fat as a cigar or hot dog). If someone bought this small tube and tried it in a big mountain bike tire, I am sure that the tube will fail. Before you purchase a tube, look at your rim diameter (700C) and look at the tire size... my Gatorskins read 28mm right on the sidewall. If your rim size is not close to 700C (See note below) or your tire size is not between 25-32mm, this is not the tube for you. * NOTE: rim diameter is not super critical like tire size. 700C tubes should fit all 28" and 29" wheels, and likely 27" wheels as well.I DID NOT RECEIVE THE STICKER (I REALLY DIDNT CARE), BUT I DID RECEIVE 2 PLASTIC NESTING TIRE LEVERS. I USED THEM AND THEY WORKED JUST FINE.
