ContinentalTour/MTB 26 Presta Tube(Return to Product Page)

Hands down the best value for 26" tubes out there. Sure, there are cheaper ones to be had, but I'd rather be riding than fixing flats. Never had one fail right out of the box like some of the cheapies I've tried in a pinch. Just not worth the meager savings. Stock up when they go on sale. Can't miss with these.

Rebuilding a 1965 Schwinn Typhon. Using these tubes in the schrader version.

When I ordered the Continental Top Contact winter snow tires for my commute bike, I went with a wider tire for dealing with snow, and for extra security, ordered these new tubes to fit the new tires. The last thing you want in winter commuter conditions is to have to fix a flat in freezing temperatures. These tubes got me through winter and snowpocalypse with no worries. Also, the shipment of tires and tubes arrived in just 2 days, all the way from Portland to my front door in Wenatchee. Usually I go with the LBS, but they told me the tires were not available and out of stock. Biketires direct got them to me right away before the snow hit.

These are quality inexpensive tubes. The valve stem is threaded all the way to the base and there is a nut that goes over the threads. This gives you the ability to secure the valve stem in place making installation incredibly easy.

Used these tubes on a barn find mtb I revived. Very pleased with how nicely made they were. Have since put miles on with no problem. Well worth the money

Great tube

Good quality. Inflates well. Stem is solid, etc

No problems at all with these tubes. Would definitely recommend.

For kids box store chinese bike. Keep em rollin!

I plan to inflate said Continental tube once I receive a flat, but I also have now converted my Schwalbe 26" tire to tubeless. So....

Fitted on a commuter/dirt-drop style Stumpjumper. - good stuff.

They seem to be well made & installed easily. I won't know more until I have been riding them for a few weeks.

Normally have great luck out of continental tires and tubes. But the first tube I had blew up while inflating at just over 40 psi. Had to run to the local bike store and pay twice the price for a lower quality tube. Kind of disappointing, but the other three held.

Typical mtb tubes. Nothing special about them.

Tube fit bike tire perfectly and has done what intended to do

I got these tubes to match with some Continental tires bought at the same time. While I was installing the first tire, the tube blew out at about 50 psi, about a 4 inch long split. Could have been pinched, or a one in a million defect, I don't know. I never had a tube blow out like this before in 40 years. But since this was for my wife's bike I switched for some older Specialized tubes I had on the shelf that were a bit thicker rubber.

Good performance and I like the stem length.

I run 1.5 semi-slicks on my mountain bike for road use. The standard 1.75-2.1 mountain tube does not install well and pinch flats. This tube solves the problem. The rubber thickness is a bit more and more reliable against flats. I have over 15 bikes and I am convinced the Conti tube is the best! Rumor has it that all tubes come from the same factories in China but for whatever reason the Conti tubes are the best quality, easy to install, but most importantly reliable. Get them!

With Covid19 it seems that I'm resurrecting older bikes for family to ride. It's usually best to start them off on mountain bikes because they are more stable to ride, especially for newer or long away riders. Getting rid of the old 26 heavy mountain bike tires is the first step. I stick with Continental tubes because I'm happy with Continental tires.

These tubes are the standard for what I use. I love them. Continental makes great tubes-I use them as well as putting them in all my kids bikes as well. Well worth it!
