Strengths: they are lightWeaknesses: weakest thing ever, i could make a better tube from paper and glueBottom Line: crap, the only thing that is good is that they are light, but that makes no sence if they pop like gum. I have rid on theese for 6 days, and i got a flat on both tires! Unless you are stupid or theese came on your bike, they should never be inside your tire.

Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: Popped on my second rideBottom Line: I was riding down an include and went over a rock. The rock was not sharp, nor did I hit it that hard. The tube popped right away.
I weigh 185 and have a rockshock duke fork (set on the softest setting). The fact is: The tube should not have popped.
These tubes are junk.

Strengths: The tubes are very lightweight. The long valves are bonus when used with certain rims. Nicely packaged in twos. The way they are rolled is perfect for carring in a backpack.Weaknesses: Haven't found a problem yet.Bottom Line: Good tube, great price, awesome weight. Exactly what a tube should be.

from Oakey KanokeyDate Reviewed: June 17, 2001
Strengths: None. These things are junk. They are a good value, but cheap junk is still junk.Weaknesses: They lack the ability to hold air, which believe it or not is the main function of a tube.Bottom Line: I purchased two Kenda tubes, put them on my bike, and filled them to 90 psi. The next day they had between 45 - 60 psi in them. So...I purchased two more Kenda tubes at a different bike shop, put them on, and the next morning they contained about 60 psi. It's a good thing Kenda doesn't make condoms.

Strengths: Cheap, light weight, they don't lose air like latexWeaknesses: none reallyBottom Line: I have used these over the past two years and they flat no more often then regular butyl. I've had these tubes last 6 months of hard riding without a flat. This is the best way to save weight.

from Brimfield, MADate Reviewed: January 2, 2000
Strengths:
cheap
light
last a long timeWeaknesses:
don't patch well
occasional valve problemsBottom Line: These are a great deal on a fairly good inner tube. I picked up a dozen of these up at Mt. Snow at $2.00 apiece, and they have served me well. Relatively light weight, good resistance to pinch flats. I have only had 2 pinch flats in 5 months of riding, running about 40 psi for my 195 lbs.
One problem, though, is that on 2 of the tubes, I have had problems with the valves breaking or jamming. Overall, a good tube especially for $2. If you can find a good deal on them, get them.

Strengths:
I don't know if there are anyWeaknesses:
My brother had some of these on his K2 and he did a tail whip and when he came down he busted the tube. He also busted the Kenda Tire.Bottom Line: Well, I don't like these tubes. They are poor quality and so are Kenda's Tires. I am not to pleased with Wrench Force either. Have had bad luck with valves bending. Buy something better.

Strengths:
Low PriceWeaknesses:
Short lifeBottom Line: Totally true story. Used a Kenda tube to replace a flat I got while riding in the Forest of Nisene Marks state park. I replaced the tube, pumped up the tire, rode 100 yards and BOOM. The tire blew. It could have been a factory defect, and since this was my first Kenda tube, I might purchase one again. However only if I have no other choice.
