No More Flats! Sep 04, 2008 By Triathlete MT
After getting 3 flats over the span of a month and a half of a mix of urban and single track riding I decided it was time to upgrade to the thorn resistant tube.

I looked at Pyramid vs another brand whose name escapes me right now and I ended up choosing these based on some reviews at a mountain bike gear review website.

The size of the box the tubes in definately took me by suprize, it is about 3 times the size as the box of a regular tube, so you definately wont be carrying a spare with you on the trail. But the plus side is that you won't have to as these things are fantastic. I have put in a few hundred miles of urban and single track riding since sticking them on and they have worked great. I have run over anything ans everything in my way and haven't gotten a flat yet.

The one downside is that they are a tad bit heavier, but you really can't tell when you are riding and unless you are racing, it shouldn't matter.

Fat tire flats? No problem May 04, 2010 By J. Madden
Great tube! Rode a group ride with about a 15% flat tire casulty rate due to thorns in the pathway. Although I picked up 6 thorns in my front tire and 4 in the rear tire neather tire went flat. These were the same type thorn that flatened the other's tires. There's the difference between a great ride and a ok ride.

great so far..... May 16, 2011 By A. Chan
Bought this after I got a pinch flat on my bike, figured since I need to replace the tube I should get an upgraded one. The box is huge so packing this along as a spare doesn't seem like an option. Upon removing this from the box, you'll notice the rubber is very thick and heavier than standard tubes; But with that it was still a breeze to install. I haven't had the issue with the valve stem leaking yet, so hopefully they fixed it. I do notice the weight in the rear but I'm not that concerned with weight, I'd rather not have flats. So far so good, will update after a few trail rides and see how it holds up.

Performs as advertised with one glitch Mar 11, 2012 By John Alldredge "Anglo-Catholic fanatic"
I bought a pair of these for one of my riding buddies and installed 'em for him. Around here (Rio Grande Valley of Texas) we have many sharp road and trail hazards and thorn-induced flats are a nuisance. These tubes go a long way to ameliorate that problem.

Because they are so thick, they are EASIER to install than thinner tubes (just the opposite to my expectations). With just a few psi of air, they hold their shape while you are re-mounting the tire and their thick walls don't get pinched between tire and rim.

But here is the problem: After you inflate 'em and put the wheels back on the bike, the tires slip on the rim and drag the tubes along with 'em, thus pulling on the valve stem. Tires with tubes on off-road motorcycles have the same problem but they have threaded valve stems and sometimes additional threaded studs going through the rim to keep the tube from moving.

This drove my riding buddy nuts and he tried several fixes including talcum-powdering the tube so that it would slip inside the tire casing. Eventually he Gorilla-glued one bead of the tire all the way around the rim. This has worked so far. He only did the bead on one side so that he can get the tube out if he has to fix a flat.

This problem is caused by the thickness of the tube - the same thing that makes it so easy to mount. It doesn't jam the beads of the tire tightly enough against the rim to stop the tire from slipping. This is true even with 70 psi of inflation (max amount for the tire and too much for off-road riding).

Nevertheless, I'm still impressed with these tubes and will buy some for my mountain bike when I use up all the tubes I have now. I'd like 'em a lot better if they had threaded metal valve stems (like Presta valve tubes do)

Too Heavy Nov 09, 2011 By "Road Warrior" Steve
I bought these a while back and after installing went for a ride. Unfortunately they were too heavy & made it hard to ride so I had to remove them & go to a lighter, cheaper tube. But now I keep getting flats so I'm looking for a light but thicker tube than the real cheap ones. Don't want the hassle of liners, still looking for the perfect tube. But I'm sure these would prevent flats...
