Reviews of Avenir Smooth Presta 60mm Valve Tube (700 X 18-23C)

Customer Ratings:

I ride 120+ miles per week, sometimes more. I bought my last tube in September and am buying some more for backup for some longer rides I'm about to do. Love the long valves, easier to pump up.

Updating after 7 months of usage... recently these have begun to pop more often and I'm going to switch to Michelin or Fuji to give them a try. Moving from 5 to 4 stars for now.

I have purchased 4 of these tubes. Two, I had no problems with. On the other two, I was not so lucky. One developed a pin hole leak for no obvious reason but I was able to patch it. The other, I never got a chance to use because of a split seam which could not be patched. This is the way it came directly out of the box. I plan on using other brands in the future. There seems to be a lack of quality control in the production of this product.

I haven't had any bad issues with Avenir tubes. I've been riding on the same tubes for near ~800 miles now and over some VERY tough terrain (wrapped in the tough-as-nails Conti 4000S tires though). I thought the long 60mm stems looked a bit goofy at first, but after dealing with them for so long I wouldn't go any shorter. Makes cap removal and pumping just that much easier.

I like the smooth stem because it is much easier on my pumps. The threaded stems chew up the pump heads.

These tubes work well. I run them with puncture resistant Serfas Seca tires. I would prefer to have a threaded valve stem to hold it more tightly to the rim, however the smooth valve stem is fine once inflated. These tubes inflate easily and fit nicely into the tire and rim. So far no punctures and I am very happy with these tubes.

I bought one of these about 6 months ago and I must say it is a blast to own! The build quality is very impressive, especially for the price! The 3 speed hub shifter is easy to use and provides sufficient gear ratios for most riding. I was riding with my wife and noticed that the actual speed you have to pedal is about the same as her 20" Schwinn folding bike, in spite of the tiny tires. Of course, this bike is clearly made for city streets, not off-road of any sort. The brakes also work very well, actually better than my wife's Schwinn. The rear roller brake is kind of a rare feature and I really like it. We took both of our bikes on a trip to Florida, in a Geo Metro of all things, so this bike clearly makes packing very easy! We rode about 35 miles over the week we were there, and it preformed flawlessly the whole time. I was surprised that the factory seat is actually very comfortable. I did buy some gel padded bike pants for long distance riding, which makes it even better. With the gel padded pants I rode about 12 miles in one trip, which is the longest I have ever ridden a bike. Even that distance was quite comfortable. By the way, expect to have lots of people stop and watch as you ride!:) Several people even were taking pictures when we stopped at a park, so you will likely have lots of questions if you get one. I am very pleased with this bike and would definitely buy another. If I had anything to complain about at all I would say that the manual is kind of generic and not very useful, but who needs a manual anyway. I think we all no how to ride a bike! By the way, if you are worried about it being big enough for you, I am about 5' 10" and I have to adjust the seat down for me to be able to ride. Even my wife, who is 6' 1" can't get on it with the seat at the highest position! But it would also fit someone much shorter than myself, so even teenagers and possibly younger should have no trouble adjusting it to fit them. So if you are looking for something to take on trips or run around town, this is the ticket.

I am 53 years old and got back into bike riding to lose weight. My knees can't stand the pounding of running. After riding my old haro bike for several weeks and getting pretty good at riding I noticed the sidewalk I was riding on had to much foot traffic to keep speeding up my workout. Also riding after work meant I had to drive my truck to haul my bike. I decided to buy a folding bike that would ride in back of my focus. The 3 speed city bike lets me ride in foot traffic and speed up when traffic alows. I am 270lbs rode over 25mi. on this bike and have not noticed A drop off in performance.If your looking for a folding bike to ride with foot traffic this is a great urban purchase.

Great cassette for Triathletes. Very light and a good product for TT bikes. Sram red technology is almost the top.

First let me say that this RED cassette is absolutely excellent. I upgraded from a stock cassette, and the difference in ride performance was like night and day.

With that said, when I first received this cassette it arrived in the correct box and was sealed as if it came from the factory. I was about to take it to my bike shop for installation, but decided to open the box to take a look first. To my surprise, there was a SRAM PG1070 cassette in the SRAM XG1090 box! The XG costs about $200 more than the PG, so as one might imagine I was quite upset. I called Amazon and they took care of it very quickly, so no long term complaints, but it just goes to show that you can't always trust the box that your product gets delivered in.

Honest reviews on Sram XG-1090 X-Dome Red Cassette

Great delivery and wait until you get it off the box. It is also super quiet... You need to experience it, if you need to upgrade, you won't regret getting this one. PS. Works well with SRAM RIVAL.

There is nothing better than this cassette for your SRAM setup. I have full 2010 SRAM red grouppo and needed to upgrade the cassette. This 2012 SRAM red works flawlessly with the older set and makes it much quieter to shift. This is incredibly light too. You won't believe how light it is when you pick it up out of the box. Fantastic craftsmanship, not cheap, but excellent upgrade if you need a new cassette.

I bought this tire for my son's bike and it fits perfectly, because the description was precise. This tire size was not easy to find so I am glad i found it here at Amazon.

The sunlite/kenda tires are great for little boys to ride their bikes (and girls) on. The price is fair (about $10 each). These have a wired bead running thru the tire's edges so please use a couple of tire levers to seed (or pop) your tires on properly. The wire beads do add weight to the tires which is fine, but it would be nice if the 14" and 16" tires were lighter weight tires…..these are little legs that are trying to get the bike rolling. I ordered a few of these tires because each tire is going to last about one riding season (late March to late November) before losing that knobby tread. The smoother "city street" tread is fine for the 12" bicycles since most likely, your son or daughter on the 12" bike is still using their training wheels and doing a lot of their riding on the sidewalks and pavement. I chose the knobby tread (comp III tread for you BMX riders) for the 14" and 16" bikes because once the training wheels are removed, my boys are going to start exploring dirt, grass and anywhere their legs can pedal them on. Also the other reason I ordered a few spares is that eventually your kids are going to discover hitting the brakes and skidding. Just like you did when you were a kid, this is going to wear out your tires much faster.

If you're concerned about flats for your youngster once they start riding their bikes everywhere:

I also ordered the kenda/pyramid/sunlite thorn resistance tubes. I've been using the Bontrager TR 700c tubes in my Trek racing bike forever. I love them. Basically, the tubes are twice as thick on the side of the tube that faces the inside of the tire which adds a little more protection against flats…..not flat free, but certainly does add a little more protection. I don't recommend any of the tubes that have "slime" in them…..too messy…..too heavy. When I got into BMX racing around age 9, I also used the Mr. Tuffy tire liners on my Skyway Aero bike…..highly recommend the Mr. Tuffy tire liners too because they work great, but unfortunately, Mr. Tuffy tire liners don't come stock in smaller size than 20". You can still use them, but you'll have to cut the 20" Mr. Tuffy tire liners, but make sure to cut them so that there is about a 2" overlap. For your kids that seem to be getting a lot of flats, (a) get a good idea of the terrain they're riding on, (b) start with the thorn resistance tubes and then (c) add the Mr. Tuffy Liners……also try using some rim tape too. Rim tape is a sticky, heavy cotton tape that you wrap against the rim. There is a hole in the cotton tape to put over the corresponding hole where the tube stem pushes thru. The rim tape helps protect against flats that are caused by the spokes and the holes in the rim that the spokes are inserted thru.

This tire worked great for our sons bike which actually called for a 14x1.95 size which is not to be found except for companies located in China. Shipping was quick and I received it within a week of ordering. No complaints with the product or the company that purchased from.

Good tire, fit my son's bike. A little wider then what was on it, but it cleared the frame still with more traction.

My son's bike is an unusual size (14") that I was not able to find a replacement tire for locally. I was very grateful that I was able to get one here through Amazon. The tire is great quality and works perfect.

Our 5 year old loves this. Friends have the other model. This one has the more adjustable handle height, but we're just using the lowest setting for now. The platform is a bit larger, more detailed and seems able to hold a bit more weight. All in all, worth the additional cost.
