Strengths:    Light weight

Weaknesses:    too thin.

Bottom Line:

I bought these tubes hoping theyed help shave off a few second and the first one that I put it had a very small leak. I filled it to 20 psi when I got it in and it started leaking. I thought it was just a deffect so I put the second one in and when I got to 90 psi it busted. So now I've got $36 with holes in them. :/

Strengths:    -Excellent road feel.
-Pre talc'd so you don't have to steal the kid's baby powder
-come in a handy zip-loc baggy

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:

Got these to shave a few grams off the bike and it's cheaper than buying new carbon pedals ;) So far they've got 50 miles in the trainer, and 150 miles on the road (lots of gravel, sand, etc.), and one race with no problems.

Date Reviewed: July 2, 2005

Strengths:    super light

Weaknesses:    Far too thin and delicate (maybe even for racing)

Bottom Line:

These tubes are unbelievably light. But at what a cost! I bought 3 of these on the way back from a long ride when I had run out of tubes. I didn't use them till I got back but when I did I slightly overinflated one before putting it in the tire on the rim and it split. The two others lasted only a few days, developing slow leaks really quick.
Not the ttube for my type of riding, but I would imagine them even too fragile for racing.
