Be aware that the valve stem is long.

Well, for years, I was under the impression that all tire tubes were essentially the same; they are commodity items, so buy the cheapest, right?Wrong.
After dealing with another slow leak leading to a roadside tube swap, I thought I would give these a try. I love Schwalbe tires, so maybe the tubes are of better quality?
Higher quality valve cores. Well made, and they have removable valve cores. Not really a necessity, but if you want to use a sealant, you want these.
Higher quality construction. You can see that these are made better than most tubes. There is a preciseness to the construction that is immediate. After the first week of riding, I had very, very little loss of air pressure. On other tube brands, if that happened, that was the day I knew to buy a lottery ticket!
Lighter. I never understood people who purchased expensive clincher only to put in heavy tubes for 'puncture protection.' They are significantly lighter, pack much smaller (important for spares in the saddle bag), but still provide confidence of not being a dud.
Yes, it is true, you can probably buy 2 (maybe more) tubes for the price of one of these. But if they are more reliable and lighter, it is a no brainer.
