multiple places
Strengths:
big and fairly good puncture resistance
Weaknesses:
very heavy, but then that doesnt bother me. If you dont pump the up hard enough you'll still get pinch flats. A bit expensive
Similar Products Used:
various other tubes
Bike Setup:
ID Dr jekyll, flicks, hope, aireal, all the goodies
Bottom Line:
impressive tubes, I started using them about 6 months ago and have only got through about 3 tubes. that is a lot more than I can say for others I have used. Dont buy these and expect them to be indestructible though, because that cant be said for any tube.

Strengths:
- designed fat tires (the only tube that works with my gazza 24x3.0) - heavy duty
Weaknesses:
- the weight (about 300g i guess) . . . but who the f**k cares about weight if using 3.0 tires . . . ?
Similar Products Used:
Schwalbe tubes, Conti Tubes
Bike Setup:
Sun Single Track rims - Gazza 24x3.0 - Cdale Super V dirt-bike-modificated
Bottom Line:
Don't mess with this tube . . . you will crack your rims . . . or your spokes . . . or your hubs . . . fork . . . swing-arm . . . BUT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A FLAT with this goddamn tube. it's as heavy as any sado-maso-suit. built to resist. and the only one that is working good with my gazza 24x3.0 tire. forget the toys from Schwalbe. if there aren't any nails on the track . . . you can leave the pump at home!
