I never thought a tube would make such a difference in the riding experience of a bicycle but these tubes are superb. The moment I started to ride after installing them I immediately noticed a huge difference in the way the bike felt on the road... it felt much more responsive and the feedback I felt from how the ground felt beneath the tires was superb. I was absolutely floored by the difference between what I had to what I have now...i used to just purchase a cheap off the shelf tube that fit... never again. I can't say just yet how they'll perform over time but the immediate difference was so obvious I can't ignore it and will be replacing the tubes in my other bike immediately even though it doesn't need it. It gave my bike a completely different and a much upgraded riding experience... I'm a very satisfied customer for now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable and High Quality Tubes for Your 29er
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014
Size: 29 X 1.75-2.5 - 42mm Presta ValveColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Bought these tubes for my 29er mountain bike as spares. Have not used them yet, though I have inspected the tubes, and compared to other tubes I have used in the past (for both mountain bikes and road bikes), these seem really durable and thick. I suppose this may not be the best trait for those who care about ounces and grams of weight, but considering that these may withstand more abuse, they are certainly worth it to me.

For those curious, one tube weighed 0.56 pounds, or about 254 grams. Considering my bike currently runs tubeless, the weight gain is actually only half of the tube weight. This is due to the sealant, stem, and thicker rim strip being removed when you put in a tube into a tubeless tire.

In simpler terms, your bike will weigh 0.56 pounds more swapping from completely tubeless to tubed. For me, the weight penalty is minimal compared to the extra cost of tubeless (special tubeless rated tire, sealant, stem, and rim strip).

To summarize, these tubes are a perfect fit for 29er wheels between 1.75" to 2.5" wide. Affordable tubes for a 29er wheel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Removable valve core enables use of self-sealant
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2015
Size: 29 X 1.75-2.5 - 42mm Presta ValveColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I use the size 26 x 1.75-2.5 MTB 'Conti Tube' tube with my Continental Trail King 26 x 2.4 MTB tires.
I use the size 29 x 1.75-2.5 MTB 'Conti Tube' tube with my Maxxis Ardent 29 x 2.4 MTB tires.

I like them better than tubes of these sizes sold under brandnames Bontrager, EVO, and Duro because these particular Continentals have removable valve cores, which enables the use of self-sealants such as Slime.

Various articles written by expert bike mechanics recommend testing any and all new tubes before stowing them in your backpack in preparation for a ride. If you are in distress out in the middle of nowhere and should need a spare tube, you don't want to discover at that time that your new spare is a DOA. So when I test inflate these tubes to about 10 psi (without installing them), it's a little disconcerting to see them inflate quite non-uniformly, looking quite distorted in shape. However, this peculiarity is not uncommon with most other brands/sizes of inner tubes.

I've been using these since spring 2014 and am quite satisfied with them. The only flats I've gotten so far have been double pinch flats due to my own negligence (inflation pressure set too low for high speeds on embedded rocky trail surfaces). These pinch flats occurred whenever I was barrellng down trails having small faceted rocks firmly embedded into the trail, and I had failed to increase the pressure in my tires, leaving them with as little as 16 psi at the front from a just-previous outing on smooth surfaces such as clay or sand. Note that my tires contain thick heavy plastic tire liners and I also fill my tubes with Slime, so those are probably the main reasons why I don't experience ordinary punctures from thorns, etc.

For reference, I weighed the tubes on a precision digital scale:
Size 26 x 1.75-2.5 weighs 7.61 oz (216 g)
Size 29 x 1.75-2.5 weighs 8.25 oz (233 g)

There were a few negative reviews of these tubes but I have found them to work fine. I do recommend you tighten the valve stem as I did have it back out when I removed the presta to schrader adapter but that isn't indicative of just this mfg. The tubes I purchased from my LBS had the same issue. Simply tighten the valve with a small adjustable wrench before installing and they work fine.

I had an issue with the Presta valve stem and contacted Continental, asking for a replacement valve stem. Instead, they sent me a whole new inner tube! More than I had asked for. Not sure yet about durability on this one, but in the past they have been good.
