Strong and reliable innertube, always high qual qauls of the highest quality to be sure!! Also I like to re enact things from the Edwardian times?

My Kenda inner tube failed after very little use.
The metal valve parted from the rubber tube.
With this inner tube, the rubber is slightly thickened where the metal presta valve is attached.
If you tighten the securing "nut" on the valve too much, you risk dragging the valve through the rim or, at least, pulling the joint up against the rough edges of the hole in the rim.
Modern compact hand pumps do not have a flexible connector. While inflating this tube you cannot help but jiggle the valve in its seating with all the wear and tear that results.
I don't think the attachment is strong enough. I would say this is a common fault across brands but, hey, aren't inner tubes cheap? And modern pumps aren't they so much lighter without that flexible connector?
In my youth, valves were attached to the tube using a metal plate. You could then screw the valve tightly into the rim.
I shouldn't stand in the way of progress, I am only a customer.

This inner tube came in an envelope and not boxed. Seems to work fine. Lets see how long it lasts.

Not used yet, but I'm sure the product will be fine - hard to come by this size in the shops

Ive not used the inner tube at the moment as it is a spare. so I cant say alot about it. Cant see there being any problems with it though
