Comments about Novara Presta Tube Lite Long - 700 x 18 - 23:

I'm a big REI fan, but these tubes are poorly made. I have gone through 3 in a week, all with leaks where the stem sealed to the tube. No punctures, just leaks at the seal. Fortunately, there were no catastrophic flats, or downhill wobblies.

Comments about Novara Presta Tube Lite Long - 700 x 18 - 23:

I use these for road biking. The tubes seem lighweight and as a result may be a little thinner and therefore could puncture easier. Have not had a flat with these yet. My only puncture resulted from trying to change tires on my bike, so you have to be careful. I usually keep the pressure almost as high as the recommended maximum. It seems to help avoid excessive flats. I like them. They work fine and look better than others.

THESE ARE DEFECTIVE

      Comments about Novara Presta Tube Lite Long - 700 x 18 - 23:

      I have had several of these break right where the stem connects to the tube. I happens front and rear, and it's NOT my rims. They only last a couple hundred miles before failing spectacularly, especially during the inflation process when I'm attaching/removing the pump. REI needs to know about this manufacturing defect, I plan to tell them.

      Not a good buy

      By charliepolecat

      About Me Avid Cyclist

      Pros

        Cons

        • Difficult To Regulate
        • Punctures Easily

        Best Uses

        • Road Biking

        Comments about Novara Presta Tube Lite Long - 700 x 18 - 23:

        The valves on these tubes stick and are difficult to inflate - particularly with a CO2 cartridge. The tubes also puncture easily and the valve stem separates from the tube.
        At one time, Novara made a good tube, but lately not so.
