Work Well
I think these are good tubes, but overrated. The "no more flats" is certainly not true. But at the same time, they have worked well for me in about five thousand miles of riding. Here is my experience: They do get punctures the same way as regular tubes, but if you are moving along the puncture will partially seal. I also use very tough tires (Continental Gatorskin). You can see the green stuff ooze out at the site of the puncture before "sealing". On a recent occasion, my tire went completely flat at a very inconvenient location. I pumped it up instead of trying to replace the tube which I carry (not the slime type). I pumped and spun the tire as fast as possible; repeating several times. This got it up to maybe 60 psi which was good enough to ride back to my car some 30 miles away. When I got there, the tire was still rigid enough to continue riding on. But at home after a few days, the tire was down fairly low, although not completely flat. I replaced it at home, which is a lot easier than doing it on the road, especially since I find it difficult to take the tire off the rim due to arthritis in one of my hands. Another problem I encountered is that the green goo clogs the valve making it hard to inflate the tire when it is low. I take care of pressure before leaving home. I found that if you let out some air the green goo is flushed out of the valve. Then you can re-inflate the tire more easily. I would not recommend risking inflating the tire after you have arrived at your starting destination.Let me say a little more about the flat tire problems on road bikes. I found that the aforementioned Gatorskin tires take care of most of the puncture problems. They resist all the big stuff like small nails and glass shards. What gets through them is fine wiry debris that is left from shards of shredded steel belted tires that are on the road side. In almost all my flats, that's what I found. These wires get through the kevlar and cannot be seen or removed from the outside. Hence requiring a removal of the tube before the tire can be cleared and restored. No tube will seal itself permanently in this situation. So, if you use the puncture resistant tires, these tubes will essentially get you home, but you still have to replace them. For me, that is worth it, so I am giving it 5 stars. I know riders who change tubes out in 5 minutes - for them it is not worth it because these tubes are heavy and expensive.Addendum: After I wrote the review, I had another flat with these tubes. The tire went completely flat after about 50 miles of riding. It was pumped up at the start to 80 psi. I was not far from the end, so I pumped it up and it held for the next 1/2 hr of riding. It still had good pressure, but the next day it was flat. Upon examining the tube at home, there was a small hole in it. It did not seal, or whatever the mechanics was, it is not able to seal to give you more rides as long as the cause is not fixed. Then you can patch it up as you would any other tube, but I just throw the punctured ones out because they can never be relied on. I am still using these, because they are better than normal tubes for my circumstances and needs.

Good product, great customer service
First tube the Schrader was clogged and valve core would not come out. Replacement was sent out immediately without having to return the bad tube. Replacement worked great no issues.

Most Badass tube of them all!
Amazing product! It was a breeze to install. I am new to putting tubes in tires and I was able to do it in a jiffy. It is so affordable and has a slime layer to protect from tears and will self repair. That sounds like magic to me. I can't recommend this product enough!

good one, but read
Out of the box:Good: rubber is not the worst I've seen, I'd add more talс, it pretty dryGood: green valve cap look cool, it has the stem extraction tread on the other sideBad: you would never be able to unscrew stem valve with that plastic capBad: think 5 times before inflating, if you will deflate, green slime will make your stem valve leaking, so see above, you'd need a real tool to take off the stem valve, clean it and put it backI didn't do jumping tests on it, will update, so far looks solid on city drive without anything above it

The slime gets you home, but...
Does the job, but... for most holes the tube will get you home. Usually the patch fails when you fully inflated the tire and the tubes are not repairable because their surface is quite slick and won't hold the exterior patch. But the tubes are cheap, keep an extra one.

very happy so far, no flats
I had purchased a few innertubes for my mountain bike, mind you I'm riding the roads in New Mexico (no trail riding). I was having all kinds of problems with flats, I was lucky if a new tube lasted a month.Purchased these, replaced the flat tube and haven't had a problem since. Hoping this will hold out and keep me riding.

Burst within a minute of inflating
Disclaimer: I've worked on a lot of bikes over a lot of years, and I've installed a fair number of tubes and tires. I'm not inexperienced with bicycles or their maintenance, and I'm certain that I did everything correctly when installing this tube. Do what you will with that information.I bought these and a pair of tires to get a family member's beach cruiser bike back on the road. The old tires were dry rotted and I decided that all new rubber would be the prudent solution. Spoiler alert: It wasn't.Took the old tube (which still held air) and tire off the wheel. Inspected the wheel and the rubber isolator band for damage or sharp edges, found none.I installed this per the instructions. I made sure that there was nothing on the wheel that could damage the new tube, and I installed the tire using plastic tire levers to make sure that nothing would pinch, nick, or mar the new tube. Once installed, I inflated the tube.The instructions say to inflate the tube to recommended pressure but do not specify an actual value. However, according to the sidewall of the tire, the recommended pressure is 40-65 PSI. I inflated the tube to the minimum recommended pressure (40 PSI). This is a pretty typical pressure for tires of this size so I didn't anticipate any problems.I inflated the tire using an inflator with a built in gauge, and I snuck up on the pressure slowly. I did this because if I overshot, I'd have to bleed air back out, and I didn't want any slime to come out in the bargain. I got it to 40 PSI on the nose and called it good.The tire seated correctly all the way around and looked good. I began to put the wheel back on the bike when I noticed that the tire had started to come off the rim on one side. It was slowly pushing away from the wheel as I watched, and it took my mind a second to realize that the tube was bulging out and starting to bubble and fail. I reached for a Schrader core remover to release the air pressure when the tube exploded in my hand. Good thing I had the bulging portion pointed away from me. Loud as a gunshot (and the ringing in my left ear didn't subside for about 20 minutes) but no physical damage done.From inflating the tube to having it burst was less than 2 minutes. It held air initially (IE it didn't have any leaks in it when I put it on the wheel), but it began to bulge about a minute after inflating to the correct pressure. I'm no tube-ologist but that tells me the tube had a manufacturing defect that weakened the sidewall. It's a shame because I was looking forward to having puncture-sealing slime to keep the air inside where it belongs.I haven't measured but I think the split is about 6" in length (see attached photo). That tube was LOUD when it went. I'm glad I was wearing eye protection but I wish I'd though to wear earplugs as well. You can bet I'll wear them next time, and I'll inflate the tube from far away with a long air hose, too.So I have one burst tube and another that I don't dare use, plus a bicycle that I cannot repair in time for this weekend. I specifically went with the Slime brand of tube because I expected it to be better than the typical no-name tubes that you find everywhere. Well, I know which brand I WON'T be buying.Now I get to reorder tubes and possibly roll the dice with some mystery brand that, admittedly, won't be any worse. If these are Slime's Extra Strong tubes (it says so right on the box), I'd hate to see their Regular Strength stuff.
