Price Paid:  $12.00 at lbs

Favorite Ride:
Up hill

Bike Setup:
Specialized Tarmac with Ultegra bits and Conti GP4000s

Summary:
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.

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.

Favorite Ride:
back down from a col

Bike Setup:
continental ultrasport tires

Summary:
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.

Strengths:
super light

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