Strengths:
Holds air great! They hold air unlike the thin tubes out there. I got the 1.625 to 2.10 size.
Weaknesses:
None!
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
00 stumper Pro HT
Bottom Line:
These are great tubes. I have not had a flat yet. These are about 255g each but well worth it. I used to run the tire liners with thin tubes and got tired of airing them up all the time. Now I don't have to run any liners!!! So i'm actually saving weight because the tire liners were heavy.

Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:

Strengths:
Heavy duty tube that appears to be pinch-proof
Weaknesses:
None for its intended purpose
Similar Products Used:
Specialized, Kenda
Bike Setup:
'06 Giant Rainier (mostly stock) and '05 RM Switch
Bottom Line:
Took alot of abuse including lots of urban rides down staircases and drops off retaining walls. I went through 4 tubes in 2 weeks before I tried these and have only had to replace one due to an unseen steel rod hidden in the tall grass that wound up in my spokes and actually snapped the valve stem right off and bent a spoke!

Weaknesses:

Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
I used a set of super tubes on my Tracer for an entire season without a flat! I ended up moving across wheelsets, using them with 3 different tires (my tires wore out before the tubes). Anyway, they're not DH tubes, but strong XC/trail for my 200 lb arse.
