Reviews of Vittoria Ultralite Tube

Customer Ratings:

I ordered a pair of these, the rear one popped between 80 & 90 PSI as I was still inflating it, & the front one popped about 15 minutes after I inflated it to 100 PSI. Both wheels had rim tape & brand new tires, so I'm pretty disappointed at a grand total of 0 miles I got out of these.

I've had these tubes on for about 100 miles and still no problems. I wouldn't call them "ultralite" as advertised, i think some tubes go for less than 95g but they are light enough. They hold air well and are sturdy enough for NYC streets. I'll be purchasing another couple of tubes if I they keep me rolling over 500 miles. They're from Vittoria so you can't go wrong.

UPDATE: 5/6/2012

So I finally got a flat on this tube. I'm satisfied to say that this one tube kept me rolling well over 500 miles. Don't know the exact number but the quality of this tube is definitely there. It took one nasty pothole, downhill at +30 mph for my rear tube to pop. I can't find the hole even though the punctured tube keeps releasing air. The tube itself is still in tact, giving me an opportunity to patch it. I was 100% confident that I was going to be able to finish my ride until that flat. I was able to fix it right away though. I just came back here to order more. +1 star.

Hard to give a tube a review but I haven't had a problem with over 1000 miles so it's doing it's job. I'll start weighing different tubes I use which would probably be more helpful.

Honest reviews on Vittoria Ultralite Tube

So far no issues, I have driven about 300 miles on those, mostly on trails. Stem is firm, they fit well my Shimano R500 wheelset with 700Cx24 tires. It holds air ok between my weekly rides 50-70 miles. Though, I might occasionally add some air, like once a month just to keep firmness, as I ride them at 110-115psi.

I use a Zipp 808 as my rear wheel. Unfortunately, even 80mm Presta valves aren't long enough for that wheel, and no one seems to make 100mm valves. To avoid the mess that are Zipp's valve extensions, I bought the 51mm Vittoria tubes with removal cores and paired them with Vittoria's (ridiculously overpriced) 62mm valve extensions. I figured it would be best to keep manufacturers the same when pairing tubes/extensions.

For that application, these tubes (and the related valve extensions) work great. Beyond that, though, they're fairly standard high-quality tubes. Unlike Specialized tubes, these aren't threaded the whole way down should that matter to you.
