I have been using them for a couple of months now. Reviewed the movie that shows how to install them (just do a search online and you'll find it) as well as some additional clips that show how to fix punctures using a match instead of patches.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulus_terrestris -- scroll down for the puncture culprits. I didn't mean you in particular, but anyone who can say how well these tubes do against the above, please post your results onlist. On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 3:52 PM, William wrote: > I wont be able to te

I did some quick googling and saw some complaints about the tubes blowing at high pressures and some other issues. I think while the idea sounds good, I will wait until it is more mature before spending that much on tubes or putting them on a winter bike. Dan Abelson On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 7:37
