Continental Standard Tube

Continental Quality

I really like the quality of Continental products. I matched these tubes up with a Continental Contact 700x37c tire for my multi-purpose bike.

Pros: Quality manufacturing.

Cons: Threaded valve stems.

People will tell you that all tubes are made in the same factory in Taiwan. That's not true. As soon as you take these out of the box you see the difference between these and a generic tube.

The rubber feels supple, and the seamless construction inspires confidence. I don't know if that actually makes a measureable difference, but it makes me feel good about the tube. It's probably just coincidence, but I have had a flat yet since switching to these tubes.

They also come with yellow valve caps, which happen to mesh well with the color scheme of my bike.

We're tired of lighter tubes getting pinched or punctured. These tubes have been dependable since we've switched. Simple and effective, and the slight weight difference is only in our mind.

Getting valve length to match rim depth is probably the biggest concern.

Pros: Effective, good longevity.

Continental tires and tubes are just what I like (I also like michelin tubes). These are no exception. Nice price, durable quality. I buy these anytime I'm getting low and really like that I can get the really long valves for deeper rims

I have used a range of tires, and these seem to be the most reliable, best priced, and best riding of the tires I have used.

Pros: Reliable, not too expensive.

Cons: All tires flat eventually, no matter who makes them...!

A tube is not a tube

I only buy Continental tubes - they are definitely better quality than others I've tried.

I've never had a valve stem rip on a Conti, but I've ruined many of other brands that way.

the best thing about these tubes is how easy they mount. they have a profile that seems to effectively work against pinching ...sort of a flat oval, so that when they are deflated, they 'fold' into the rim, protecting against pinching with a tire tool.
inflate slightly to get most of the tube in, and then deflate to put the remainder in.
they seem very sturdy, but i don't have very many miles on them yet...i'm using them with panaracer 32c/35c tires.
so far, so good.

Pros: easy to mount, very sturdy, seem decent quality, very good value

Cons: none

I've run these tubes on a lot of my bikes, and I've also run the "Q" tubes, and I've never had a problem with either brand. When I need tubes, I'll get whichever is cheaper between the Conti's and Q's and run them with confidence.

Best tubes period

Every other tube has to be compared to this, so far I have found none better. Best valves, best rubber thickness to weight combination that keeps the air in. When you do get a puncture it excepts patches easily.

Pros: Best tube out there while not being too expensive.

Cons: None

While the Conti tubes seems to be thicker and more durable than other tubes I have used, I find it harder to patch these tubes. The outside feels slicker than other tubes, so some of my patches fail on these tubes.

I liked these tubes at first, but finding out that they don't take to patches as well has put a damper on my enthusiasm for them (I pinch flat a lot on my cross bike). Still above average tubes, but not the absolute best or anything.

Oh, they also fold up nicely when deflated.

Solid Choice

I've run the conti tubes and have had good success on 26", 20" and 700 tires. Pinch flatted a few tires through the cross season, but that was par for the course.

Good construction, decent price, it's a butyl tube. I don't think they last longer or less than any other tube. I've had a number of these and they seem to hold up OK.

Splurged on these for a recent build. So far they have held up well. My only complaint so far has been that the presta valve unscrews when you are opening the valve to fill with air. I tweaked them down with some needle nose pliers and all has been good since.

Pros: High quality

Cons: More expensive than most, presta valve unscrews from valve core sometimes

tube issues

Have had trouble with the generics and am testing out name brands to see if they have better quality.

Honestly, can't tell if this one is better than a generic. Might be a bit lighter.
