Comments about Novara Presta Tube - 26 x 1.25 - 1.50:
I bought 3 of these tubes last August as backups for my commute to/from work. They stayed in my travel backpack until November when I got a flat on my rear tire. Rather than patching at work, I put the first Novaro tube on. I didn't even make it home before it was flat. I didn't have time to figure out where the puncture was so I changed to another new tube for the following day (my last bike commute before packing the bike for the winter). I didn't even make it to work before it was flat. I inspected every part of the wheel and tire for sharp objects but found none so I put the 3rd tube on. Once again, I ended up walking the bike home for the last mile due to a flat.
I am a regular bike commuter so I have changed and patched my fair share of tubes. I know I put these in right. When I finally found time this winter to inspect the tubes, I found multiple punctures in various locations (inside and outside surfaces. One tube also had a tear near the valve stem (see other reviews on other Novaro tube sizes).
These are by far the worst tubes I have ever used. They are completely worthless! I would expect better from REI. They should pull all of these from the shelves until the quality issues have been resolved.

Valve stem is strong compared to the Continental tube.
