Review by UphillcyclistReviewed 5/1/2015by UphillcyclistCycling EnthusiastSan Jose2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.The absolute best road tour tube on the market!If you cycle the distance on road touring and carry loads such as panniers this is a must tube! The rubber is a bit thicker and more puncture resistant. They are extremely easy to install. They can handle large pressure without stress. I tour all the time and find the regular 28X32 road tube to thin and they rupture because of the added weight on the rear tire. Therefore, I used to run the tire at a lower pressure. With the Conti Tour tube I can blast the pressure up to extreme levels and no worries about blow out or rupture! Get these if you're serious about touring and want reliability! 5 Stars all the way!

Review by Clint OReviewed 4/6/2015by Clint OCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Good tube, watch for slow leaks at the coreI've had these since I've been running the Continental Top Contact II tires. So far I've been pretty happy with them. I've had two tubes that exhibited a slow leak at the value. This valve appears to have a replaceable core, but if they are threaded loosely into the body, then they will leak, especially if you have to exert much force to unscrew the valve for inflation. A gentle tightening has done the trick for me.

Review by tvmathesonReviewed 3/27/2015by tvmathesonCycling EnthusiastFlorida4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Tough and PatchableFor utilitarian bike riders, or those who will do anything to keep from getting flats, rolling around on balloons is always precarious.
The more rubber, the better - but Thorn-proof tubes are too thick to patch, the tubes with goop inside are tiresome, unpatchable and ultimately leaky, and normal tubes are too thin...in the interest of saving weight? A thin balloon?
...so the Continentals are my current best solution to the dilemma. The rubber is a little thicker.
When something better comes along, I'll get it.

Review by CycleManiacReviewed 7/19/2014by CycleManiacCasual Cyclist6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.High Quality at a Good PriceAn unreliable tube is a royal pain in the rear. My hybrid bike came with CST tubes stock, and they sheared at the valve stem. I had already installed a set of new Continental tires that I was very satisfied with, so I though why not give Continental tubes a try. Right out of the box these showed quality. They were thicker than the CST/Specialized tubes, and the thickness more consistent. The steel valve stem with the locking nut (a rarity for Schraders) was a nice touch. So far, I have put about 600 miles on these tubes without any trouble. No pinholes, no seam tears, no valve stem leaks, etc. They also seem to hold air better, with only minor pumping every week to keep them around 55psi.
You really cannot go wrong with these tubes. The cost is similar to other brands, but the quality is excellent.

Review by Don Reviewed 2/7/2020by Don Cycling EnthusiastLadera Ranch, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Excellent tube, perfect price.The Continental Tour 700 Tube is well constructed and has a nice weight and feel. I've bought some other brands that were very thin and didn't last as long. Fits perfectly in my 700x32 tire and I like that it comes in a Schrader Valve which is what I prefer. Overall, an excellent tube at a reasonable price!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/16/2013by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastBoise, ID2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Nice, high-quality tube.Excellent quality from Continental, as usual. I like that the schrader valve stem is steel, not plastic, similar to presta. I was tired of constantly patching/replacing tubes on my daughter's bike - no longer a problem.

Review by AndrewSReviewed 11/14/2013by AndrewSCycling EnthusiastVirginia City , Nevada USA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Excellent tube for touringI have used these tubes (presta valve version) on three two-week tours, including the Oregon Coast,Pittsburgh to Washington DC via the GAP and C&O Canal, and the Erie Canal, and also a month of touring in New Zealand. Much of these trips have been on hard packed gravel paths. Using Vittoria Cross Pro tires (700cx34), there have been zero flats on any of the trips. The butyl rubber used in the tubes is very flexible and thicker than most tubes. In my opinion well worth any increase in weight and the cost is very reasonable. Any additional weight over other tubes is offset by the fact that I now only carry one spare tube instead of two. I highly recommend these tubes.

Review by Biking GrandpaReviewed 11/29/2019by Biking GrandpaCycling EnthusiastIndianaGood tube at a fair price!What is there to say, they are tubes, bought 4 of these for two bikes I was fixing up to give away, priced right for sure and no problems with them. BTD got my order to me quick as always, which to me is a plus when buying online.
