Review by JimReviewed 8/23/2021by JimCasual CyclistConnecticut0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Good TubeI own a Specialized E-Bike and I had a tube failure. This was the closest fit that I found on BTD's website. I compared the tube to the failed original Specialized tube on the bike and it was very similar in build and weighed the same. The 700, 45-50 size is perfect for the 700, 47 sized tires on the bike. The threads on the Kenda tube Presta valve are 60 mm whereas the Specialized tire came with 40 mm long threads. It is a minor, visible difference.
The original tire failed I believe due to a faulty, removable Presta valve. The failure mode was explosion.
I intentionally sought a different brand of tube due to the failure even though I believe Specialized makes a great bike. The original tire was a 700, 32-50, 40 mm. Since Kenda's size was the narrow width band of 45-50 I'm hoping this may be helpful in avoiding another problem. So far, 2 months later no flats or problems.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/1/2020by AnonymousCasual Cyclist1 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Buy one more than you need.I bought two tubes, and one came with a hole in it. But that's on me, I've bought enough tubes to know you should always buy more than two. To their credit, BikeTiresDirect gave me a quick refund.

Review by Stankosky Reviewed 4/26/2022by Stankosky Ohio - Rails to Trails Capital of America1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.So far, so good.I use these tubes in Continental tires and haven't had a failure yet. I can ride a week before I feel the need to top off the air pressure. I usually ride at 75psi.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/26/2020by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastManteca, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Love the tubesI bought two tubes to replace old ones. I like the long stem. The tubes look hardy and solid. Installing them was easy and I like the value for the money. I'll be ordering more.

Review by bluesjrReviewed 8/18/2020by bluesjrCycling EnthusiastSan Francisco Bay2 of 6 customers found this review helpful.OK tubeshad a couple of other Kenda's fail where the valve stem meets the rubber. They lasted 10 years, but both failed within a week. Hoping for better with these. Not a lot of choices in the tube market.

Review by kevsyReviewed 6/2/2020by kevsyCycling EnthusiastLas Vegas, NV4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.A Good TubeI've noticed over time that Kenda tubes seem to last longer. I've re-used them occasionally with new tires, and they're often fine.

Review by KakuReviewed 1/4/2019by KakuCycling EnthusiastLas Vegas NV3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.DOES DO WHAT A TUBE DOES..Discounted commodity purchase. Air loss at about 2%-3% daily. If using long stems on shallow rims, be sure that value stem is secure or some flats will occur at valve base. Have patched and the repair provided a lasting seal and a useful tube. Many punctures seem to happen near a seam, so patching is useless.
