I've used these tires for a while and have had solid performance with no issues at all. It can be a bit of a challenge to install but once you dial it in its fairly easy to do going forward. To prevent flats put Stans No-Tube (about 2oz)in after installing and you're good to go. I've had audible flats and they seal in about 20 seconds and dropped the psi from 130 to about 90. Never stopped and rode home, pumped it up back to 130 and have had no issues since. I would shop around on Amazon as prices can vary.

These are great all around tires. This is my second set and I love them. For the price, you can't beat it.

Honest reviews on Tufo 700x21 S33 Pro Tubular Tire

I've been through several sets of these tires now. The first time I let the manufacturer convince me it was my fault that the tire failed. It happened on the second set as well and I'm through. Let me explain.

I had the rear tire on one set "shift" in relation to the presta valve/rim. It caused a major bulge in the tire and the wheel felt like it was hopping. The manufacturer advised this was "not unheard of," and I should reset the wheel on the rim and it would go back to normal (i.e. the hop would go away.) It did not. I thought that I would watch more closely and ordered another set. Why not? I'd liked the concept of the tubular-clincher though I can't say I saw much in the way of improved performance. But I'm not a racer, so I don't know that I would.

The second set didn't do much better. The front tire failed this time, bulging and causing the sidewall to fail: air leaked rapidly from the side walls. The valve shift was very subtle and I did not notice it. I had used the sealant for these tires and thought maybe it was just dried-out. No go. I added more sealant and spun the tire to "distribute" it. HUGE bulge and hop at the valve.

If you want a tire that may fail before it wears-out, by all means get these.

Pros: high pressure, clean looks, less likely to go flat when you use sealant, and low rolling resistance

Cons: harder to mount, not easy to fix roadside flat (unless you carry a whole spare tire,) not very durable when they "shift" on the rim.

Huffy Women's Alpine Mountain Bike Review

Huffy Women's Alpine Mountain Bike, Metallic Sky Blue, 24-Inch/Medium

It is a bike for a novice biker. It is very easy to assemble and get ready to use. I bought it for my wife so she can enjoy riding with me.I had it put together and ready to ride in about half an hour. If you are thinking you want to get it to ride in comp. or races, don't bother with this bike. It won't hold up to the roughness, I don't think anyway. As far as using it for riding on rails to trails or rides like that, just fine.....

Nice solid bike, we got this for our daughers 11th bday. She is challenged with the gears, but loves it.

The bike itself doesn't feel very stable when I'm riding it to start with. The first time I went on a mountain bike trail I hit a rock and the front tire flew off. Everytime I ride the chain somehow gets loose and gets wedged between the gear and the frame. When I got the bike the front brake was broken.

Honest reviews on Huffy Women's Alpine Mountain Bike

I bought this bike for myself to start riding again withy daughter. I had professionals put it together for me and stated there were a number of problems with it. The stokes were loose. It won't go into the last 2 gears and they had a problem with the chain coming off of it over again. Now riding it it doesn't feel right. Even when I change gears it feels like the ride is the same. And it takes a fewinutes for the chain to jump to the next gear which is worrisome when you're riding. On top of it the seat is terrible. If I could send it back I would.

Well hopefully this won't happen to others.

The bike was late, the wrong color arrived. The box looked like it was Christmas morning all ripped up. The front wheel was bent.. When I tested it for my daughter the gears broke and had it been my little girl on it she would of probably gotten hurt.. Oh huffy! Very disappointed on your shipping dept.

Please, Please do not purchase this product it is awful. I purchased this for my daughter's birthday and gave her a skate party and would you believe the things broke 30 minutes after putting theme on for the first time. My daughter fell and was injured because the wheels completely broke off.

I would not recommend this product to anyone. First of all they're described as "unisex", but when I received them, they were in a mens size. The second and most important reason I would not recommend these skates is the poor quality. I ordered these for my daughter and two friends as Christmas gifts. It is now only two weeks into January, and two of the three pairs ordered are already broken. Some of my daughter's other friends received the same brand of skates for Christmas as well, and most have broken as well. Save your money!

Honest reviews on Chicago Bullet Speed Skate ,Black

This is a great inexpensive skate if you are just using them to skate around in. However I do roller derby and the wheels are extremely slippery when I go around turns. The skate overall is really good. Just those darn wheels need to be replaced.

I bought these skate for my daughter, she wanted to try it out and I didn't want to spend much money in case she didn't like it. I also bought a pair of nicer speed skates for myself and we hit the rink. The Bullet's boot is not a bad one for the price. The wheels are total junk though, they are made from really cheap plastic and offer no grip indoors, After 2 times at the rink, I replaced them with some nice Sure-Grip (made in USA) Zoom wheels. That helped a little but she kept telling me that she felt like she was gong to fall backwards. I inspected her plates and compared to mine, they were at least 3/8 from the end of the heal which is far too short (mine go all the way to the end of the heel). Not very good at all for the beginner, the wheels should be centered over your heel. To far forward and it's not easy for the in-experienced. Also, the axles and trucks looked very cheap like they would break any minute. I'm not sure if any of the other sizes in this brand are that way but I assure you the size seven is and that's just a bad way for someone to learn to skate. So, being the handyman I am, I replaced her plates and trucks with some Sure-Grip probe nylons which are made in USA. The Zoom Wheels were 40 bucks and the plates were 54. Add that to the 50 bucks for the skates to begin with and maybe you all see my point here. The boot was the only useable part and it's vinyl, not leather. But hey, she has the nicest Bullet skates around! If I were you, I would buy something a little safer that's better built. I know that there are a lot of good reviews on this skate but then again their is also a lot of people who don't know better. You get what you pay for. If you want something better built, I would start with a set of skates from Sure-Grip. They make a nice speed skate with a leather boot and Probe plates with many different combinations of outdoor, indoor or outdoor indoor combination wheels starting at about 140.00. The main benefit is everything but the boot is made in USA and everything but the boot is guaranteed for life, not 30 days like the Chicago's are. I hope this helps.
