Reviews
Thought, per Pirelli website, that these were made in Italy, so I bought six in several sizes. These tubes were made in China. Used a 32C for about 500 miles and tube failed at seam, as so many other brands have recently done.
So far, I'm a fan of these tubes. I still use butyl tubes instead of tubeless, latex (pressure retention) or TPU ($$$). Plus butyl is easily patchable. With modern 28mm+ tires I decided to stay with size appropriate tubes instead of cheating and using the -23mm or -25mm to avoid even more pinch flats at the lower pressures. This doesn't seem to pinch flat any worse than the 120g+ Conti or Schwalbe standard tubes, which I otherwise like a lot. Those tubes take up a lot more saddle bag volume than this Pirelli RoadTUBE. A bit pricey for butyl but I'm happy with this relatively cheap weight upgrade. Have ridden more than a thousand miles on these, with no seam or stem issues.
