The tubes worked just as expected.
Really like the fact that they have a replaceable valve core, this is typically what I have go bad, so can swap it out.

Pros: Light, cheap, replaceable valve core

A good, standard tube at a reasonable price. I've decided I like the "S" brand tubes the best, but they cost a little more as well. The one hit against the Q-tubes is that the presta valve seems stickier (and I always pop the seal before attaching the pump).

Pros: Solid product at a good price.

Cons: The presta valve is seems stickier (pump has to build up a lot of pressure before it "pops" and allows air in).

They do the job!

These tubes are good. No problems.
The box looked like this but, I was surprised to see the tubes themselves actually were made by Kenda.

Pros: Good price, perfectly fine tubes.

Cons: That's a long valve stem. I would go one size down next time

Qtubes come in a variety of sizes and are relatively cheap. Grabbed a couple for a build with a few extra for the saddle back and the workbench supply.

The Standard

These are the perfect touring tube, durable and removable stems so you can fill them up with Stan's sealant if you desire.

Pros: I've had these tubes outlast others. Don't get hung up on weight unless you're racing, I always carry two extra with me in my gear, and I manage to commute 22 miles daily no problem.

Cons: None

Tubes are disposable. Unless you are racing, why spend a fortune on expensive tubes knowing they have the shortest lifespan of any bike part? I run these on all of my bikes, and have put thousands of miles on these tubes. They hold up as well as any other tube I have tried.

Cons: The box is pretty big, so I have to take the tube out to fit it into my saddle bag.

lovely in its black roundness

With a few swift pressings of my pump, this inflates to a lovely torus shape and allows my tires to magically float above the ground, cushioning me as I go.

Pros: Holds air
Lots of sizes

Cons: Not impervious to thorns and stuff

Tubes?

Putting tubes inside your cross tires maybe isn't the cool way to do it, but it works. The Q Tubes are great cuz removable valve core means you can add sealant for puncture protection.

Pros: Great option for us less-refined types
removable valve core = sealant

Cons: They're tubes, not tubulars..?

I think these are OK...

It's always hard to tell with tubes -- you don't have anything but anecdotal evidence. I have had flats with these, for sure, and it SEEMS to me like I've had fewer flats with Contis. But these don't have any obvious manufacturing defects, like valve stems tearing out or anything. I'm inclined to go with Contis, but that may just be marketing fluff.

So I'm not sure how to review a spare tube. It comes in a really nice cardboard box. I really like the red and grey over the natural cardboard coloring.
I have used Q tubes before in a smaller size and they have preformed well. I'm sure these are just as good.

Great tubes for the price. Unless you're a dedicated weigh weenie, I don't think there is any reason to pay more for a tube. It's neither more or less prone to flatting than any other tube.

Pros: Affordable
Functional
Solid valve

Cons: None. It's a tube, dig?

tubes are not just tubes

any tube at this price that works this well is a bonus. many 'economical' tubes can pinch during insertion...or don't seat well.
these work really well...keep theri shape...and don't fold. what more can you want?

Pros: price and quality, keep the shape

I needed a set of tubes for a pair of 45mm tires, and these were the best priced ones available at the time. They're not overwhelmingly puncture-resistant; if something manages to work its way through the tire it will work its way through the tube. But it's a strong point in favor of the tire that even after being punctured by a nail (I picked up a roofing nail that went /all/ the way into the tire and was completely buried inside the rapidly deflating tube) the tube doesn't rip apart around the obstacle and can be repaired once you'be pulled the debris out.

Nice quality tube for $5. Comes with some tire talc already on it making it a bit easier to install. Also, seems to be pretty stout without weighing a ton. Seems to hold pressure well too, about 5psi drop over 5 days.
