I ride in rocky terrain, which means I tend to get pinch flats fairly often. I don't like patching tubes on the trail, and my bike has pretty fat tires, so spare tubes take up a lot of space in my little under-seat tool bag. I decided to give the AeroBlue TPU inner tube a try, and so far, I'm impressed. The spare takes up very little space in my tool bag. I had to use one on a recent ride, and the tube replacement went without a hitch.
The only minor hassle is having to carry two CO₂ adapters—one for Presta and one for Clik. That should go away once I replace my front tube with a Clik Valve tube.
I love the convenience of these valves and the front valve and stem work very well with no leaks, however the valve I installed in the rear is leaking air from the seal. Rather disappointing for 50 dollars.
A simple pump head without a lever that doesn't really work. A cheap upgrade that makes inflation 1000X easier!
I have to admit I've never been a fan of presta... Faulty course have left me stranded out on the trail before, adapters and attachments don't always work as expected so when I saw this product I figured this may be it. I used it on the single wheel set for few weeks before switching my entire fleet to click cores and I'm not looking back. I like parts that just work and this is one of those!
What can I say that Clik hasn't already about these? They work great and were east to install. I'm glad they also came with a valve stem tool. It's not as easy to let air out as a presta valve, but still pretty straightforward.
