MichelinA1 Aircomp Ultra Light Tube(Return to Product Page)

Seems to hold up well. I buy it mainly for the smooth stem, it doesn't have threads that rip up my pump gasket and the smooth stem seals better.

I like the short threadless presta stem and light weight tube. A little more expensive. Use with Easton EA90 wheels.

Have used there for years with very few flats

Big fan of these as it took several tries with other brands before I finally found these. Have no plans of switching anytime soon.

This is not the lightest tube but definitely the lightest and most durable with a great price to match. This is my go to tube to compliment my high end carbon wheels.

Love the 52 MM Presta French valves!

Been using these for awhile. They result in an excellent ride.

They don't flat from steel belted tire wires on the road. At least until you change tires in case you are putting the old tire on another wheel.

And they can be patched with REMA patches. I've done that several times.

If you want the best combination of low weight, reliability, performance smooth valve stems, quality and value then get these. Not so thin that pinch flats will be a problem. Perfect weight for racing. Ample durability for training. Hold pressure well for several days. I have tried ALL the rest. The only thing you can't do is remove the valve core but I don't ever do this. The least compromise of all available tubes with the best overall performance. What more could you want?

I use Michelin tubes because they work. There are lighter tubes out there but these wont let you down because a seam ruptured or a valve stem ripped out. Consistent quality, predictable performance and safety you can depend on.

Most of the cheaper tubes have a lot of variability in wall thickness and a considerably higher defect rate. Many of the cheaper no-name tubes I've purchased at my local bike shops have had weak seams or thin spots that resulted in quick or immediate flats. If you're only carrying one spare, this can be a real pain.

Even though these tubes are considerably lighter than most, I've had fewer flats and no obvious defects with these tubes. Definitely worth a little extra money.

My favorite part of these tubes is the stem length. I struggle too long with installing the long stems on my bikes.

I don't want heavy tubes, and these prove very durable and long lasting.

7 YRS TOURING UPSTATE NY ROADS RIDING APPROX 2000 MILES PER SEASON I HAVE HAD A FEW FLAT TIRES ! LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE AND LONG LASTING .IN A PINCH I HAVE TRIED BIKE SHOP INNER TUBES FROM 2 LOCAL SHOPS AND ALWAYS COME BACK TO MICHELIN AIRCOMPS. MAILORDERING THEM IS A PAIN BUT WORTH IT. I ALWAYS GET THE SMOOTH PRESTA VALVE - DO NOT LIKE THREADED VALVE STEMS.

I've tried other tubes, but always come back to Michelin. They are reliable, light weight, and durable. Plus, I really like the non-threaded valves.

May need to run a slightly longer stem than with a threaded and nut style as stem pushes into rim. Not a big deal using pump, but I did need to get a different type of CO2 inflator that grabbed the stem and used a trigger, as opposed to my previous one that released gas when pressed onto stem.

Like the smooth, non-treaded stem. Much easier to get my floor and frame pumps on and off. Lighter than the butyl tubes I've been using but still holds pressure for days and have not had any puncture issues. 52 mm stem is perfect length for my Campy Eurus rims.

I carry these in a ziplock bag filled with corn-starch for the inevitable flat.

These tubes maintain air pressure better than the competition. Excellent puncture resistance

I like the light weight and use them on my Road Bikes. I like the stem without threads, it so much easier to get the pump on and off.

Nice but more expensive than other tubes that seem to function just as well less money
