Light and reliable.

Been using this tube for years mostly with Vittoria Rubino Pro's with a fairly high PSI (110-120). I get pretty good milage out of these on my road bike, commuter bike, and track bike.

Thank you for your feedback.

One day I'll go tubeless...

...but until I do, Continental tubes seem to have an edge on the rest of the competition. These are noticeably lighter and matched with my Conti 5000s, my puncture rate is noticeably lower than riding with other tires / tubes.

Thank you for your feedback.

Satisfied

Have bought four, used or still using three, one still on reserve, over the last year. These tubes have worked just fine, lasted well, failures have been reasonable when a thorn or wire or glass shard has penetrated. I've patched and re-used without issue. They are nice and light-weight, yet strong enough. No complaints. Satisfied. Intend to keep buying.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best tubes for the money

Not the lightest tubes but does it matter if they minimize flats.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable lightweight Road Tubes

Continental Race Light tubes are very light (78 grams on my scale) and durable. Comes folded to easily fit in a jersey pocket or a small saddle bag. I have been using them for many years and I consider them to be the best dollar for dollar road tube on the market

Thank you for your feedback.

Pinch flat prone

I got these this year since I've started racing as well as doing more high climb centuries (9000 - 11,000 ft) to save weight. However, I'm switching back to Tour 700s because I've been having so many pinch flats during training rides. The rural roads around here have plenty of potholes, rocks, debris, etc. and I got stranded 50 miles from home yesterday with two pinch flats (one on my rear tire and then another on my spare).

Thank you for your feedback.

Light, reasonably priced but only 5050 on quality

Purchased two (2) Continental Race Light road tubes to go with two new Michelin Pro4 Endurance 25mm tires. Happy with the pricing and delivery. Unfortunately, from the get-go, one of the tubes' valve leaks if not screwed in... which makes inflation to a precise pressure a challenge. I'll be changing it out soon - too much fidgeting for my tastes.

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm happy you had the size tube & tires needed for my Handcycle.

My Handcycle manufactured by Top End - Invacare requires 26 x 78 tires and they are sometimes very difficult to find. Local bicycle shops do not carry them on hand.

Thank you for your feedback.

Works as it should

Bought these for use on new wheels, they only loose a few pounds between rides and some of that is filling the air hose to the gauge. No problems with flats yet but that's more a function of the tires. They seem to me a good tube

Versatile Tubes

These are versatile tubes that have a removable core allowing you to install valve extenders for deeper wheels.

2 of 3 split during inflation

I purchased three of these w 80 mm stems from a LBS. The first two ruptured during inflation when the pressure was between 100 and 120 psi. Both split down the side as if it split along a seam. The third one inflated with no problems and has been working well.

Good, but you may want a thicker heavier tube if you have a lot of debris and sharp gravel in your area

Used it on Ride the Rockies 2014 and Triple Bypass in CO. Had few flats yet this year but may use a heavier tire with some slime next year

Conti race light tube

Love these tubes. I don't worry about flat based on the tubes I use, tires should be the line of defense for flats. I love how light they are and hold pressure well. I usually have to top off the pressure every third ride or so. I usually wait until they go on sale.

Thank you for your feedback.
