Sunlite Bicycle Tube, 700 x 18-23 (27 x 1) 32mm PRESTA Valve Review

I arbitrarily chose 32mm length during a recent single speed conversion project to match up with my new wheels. The wheels I purchased have what I would consider to be minimal sidewall depth, but these presta valves still barely poked through. If you're unsure about sizing with your sidewall, I'd go for the 48mm length instead. It seems to me a longer valve is more attractive than a little stumpy guy barely poking out. I can still use these, but longer would have been better. Heads up.

This is a good quality tube which has worked well for me. I use it in my trainer wheel so I can't give much feedback on real road conditions, but it's great on the trainer.

My only warning as echoed by other reviewers is that the 32mm valve length only sticks out ~20-25mm (1 inch) from my rims which are fairly shallow. With a deeper rim it could be difficult to have enough of the valve for your pump to attach to.

Tubes are thick rubber and heavy which is what I expected. You can get lighter tubes that will make your wheels spin faster.

After I installed tube and inflated tire everything was OK. When doing pressure check before next ride the valve stem came out and was stuck in cap. First time this has happened to me in 35 years of bicycling.

So far, so good! I've part these up with some protective tape and have had no problem. Maybe a lil extra weight with the tape but no biggie. I ordered an extra set since I've had a hard time finding these at the store (they're always running out).
