from South Coogee, New South Wales, Australia Date Reviewed: May 15, 2003 Strengths: This tube has a nice supple feel compared to others. The valve stem is firmly fixed. It is also sourced from the Cheng Shin Co., makers of the best tubes by far. The price is relatively cheap because you don't pay for all the marketing hype that normally comes with more expensive tubes. You're simply buying something that works! Weaknesses: Absolutely none! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Oaks Fire Trail Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $5.00 Purchased At: Pump 'n' Pedals Similar Products Used: All others don't measure up to this standard! Bike Setup: Cannondale F900SX with Lefty fork.
