Kenda 700c Tube(Return to Product Page)

My bikes have the full gamut of tubeless and tube-type wheels. In some tube wheels, weight is a big deal to me. In some, such as touring and townie bikes, durability is the key. These tubes are durable, long-lasting, and perfectly happy spending months in a zippered sandwich bag with a shot of talc while waiting to be put in service. They're not lightweight. They don't feel zippy. But when I'm changing a flat in the rain with cold fingers, I'm not worried about tearing a tender tube with tire levers.

These tubes came with the advise of staff at Bike Tires Direct. They are of great quality, value & reasonably priced. They hold pressure very well in the Conti Gator Hardshells I ride, with 100 PSI. I find I only have to add air once a week or so. I have two bikes and have had only one tube defective on installation-the valve stem weld leaked. But BTD credited me for the tube without my even having to return it.

I like this shorter stem version with the removable valve core. I've never had a problem with a Kenda tube. They're light enough, strong enough, no surprises when I'm sitting road-side in the rain and darkness falling.

Sometimes I go through a lot of tubes on my 2006 Trek Madone 5.2 due to road conditions in the Southern California high desert. Kenda 700x23c is a great value and does the job for me every time.

Kenda is the only bicycle tube I have any experience with, because they worked for me from the start. I have two 700C hybrid comfort bikes that I have been riding for going on two years, almost daily for a few miles, to help my arthritic knee. I've only had one Kenda tube failure, and that was discovered right away-due to a defect in the weld at the stem. I notified BTD and they immediately credited me for the tube. So, a very good tube, marketed by a very responsible company, Bike Tires Direct.

Work great so far. Good value.

No pops haven't had to replace my tubes in awhile

Inner tubes are all pretty standard I think, having not seen much difference between the less and more expensive tubes. This Kenda serves my riding well

Our local bike shop sells tubes, however, they tend to run about $4 more each than at Biketiresdirect.com. It was nice to be able to order several spares at an affordable price.

These are pretty basic tubes. Which is why I like them. I like my tubes to last through a couple patchings and these hold up well. They're a good price, are durable, and weigh a reasonable amount. They also offer them in a ton of sizes and stem lengths which is helpful.

One tube leaked air out of box so I ended up using the original 30 year old tube. The second tube went flat on me today with less than 50 miles on it. I removed the tire and found that nothing had punctured it. I found two holes in the tube on the rim tape side.

600 miles (so far) and no issues. Pretty much as I would expect from a Kendra tube.

Great product. Perfect for my tires. Worth it to get peace of mind on the road.

Price is right, and while they're not the lightest tube in the world, I've never encountered one with a defective seam or valve, and the thicker rubber gives you a little longer to dig that glass out of your tire. When I do get a flat with one of these, I patch it .. I have several of these Kenda tubes in my spares box with 6 patches in them.

It's a tube...it works. This is my tube of choice. I do some work for several friends and a non-profit so I do more tire and tube work than the average person. Never had problem with them. Reasonable price, always in stock, good value.

So far so good - I've been riding since November on icy winter streets with Kenda Klondikes.

Know how I know? It holds air for a lot longer than the racing tubes.

I ride 25 miles/day, rail trails and roads, weather permitting. With these tubes and Schwalbe Marathon 700x28c tires I have a nearly unbeatable combination for hogh mileage durability.

Tube really fits well. Some brands of tubes appear to be larger then necessary. That adds weight and makes it harder to replace the new tube.

Quality looks good and it went right in.

I was unable to get air in either of the two tubes purchased. I removed the valve core and tried again without any luck. the valve stems appear to be completely blocked. when you have a flat, this is not what you want!
