Date Reviewed: April 29, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | No pinchflats, can run lower air pressure | | Weaknesses: | HEAVY!!!!!!! | | Bike Setup: | 7point, super t, RS pearl 3.1 etc etc | | Bottom Line: | WAY to heavy for my taste. I run reg tubes from performance 2.3-2.5 so much lighter. The key is once you find the right air pressure you dont need DH tubes. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Some Shop | | Strengths: | REALLY think, hard as nails. | | Weaknesses: | Heavy! | | Similar Products Used: | Hutchison latex, Specialised DH tubes, other crappy tubes. | | Bike Setup: | Just added RaceFace cranks, BB, Bashring, and new SRAM chain and Cassette. | | Bottom Line: | Just took it out riding to test my new bashring, and have nailed it really hard off every square edge I can find. They were the kind of hits where I fully expected a burst tube/taco'd rim, but no, they still held up strong, and I was using Spesh DH tubes before! This is a MONSTROUS tube! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$11.00 | | Purchased At: | On Yer Bike | | Strengths: | * Tough
* Durable
* High pressure valves (thumbs up)
* BIG | | Weaknesses: | * The valve on my rear tube split but i replaced with a higher quality one anyway so no love lost there.
* HEAVY AS A MOFO
* expensive
* | | Similar Products Used: | The only reason the IRC is here is because it is a tube, rendering it similar.
* IRC DH tube (NEVER BUY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!)
* Specialized | | Bike Setup: | Would take too long to go into.... | | Bottom Line: | A nice, heavy grunty tube i would recommend for anyone not on a budget, financial, weight or otherwise and who rides downhill like a speed demon. I recommend when you buy these, buy two spare valves just in case, the one on my back wheel serperated for no reason other than maxxis quality control. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$14.00 | | Purchased At: | janson | | Strengths: | thick rubber | | Weaknesses: | weight | | Similar Products Used: | regulat tubes | | Bike Setup: | yep | | Bottom Line: | i'm not a weight weanie(usually), but if you run double wides, and gazza3.0, you start to noticethe extra weight.
i could ron 7 pounds of air in front, and 10 in the back, and do a 7 foot drop or slam my rear tore against a curb and nothing would happen, even tho sometimes i feel the tire hit the rim it still doesn't pinch flat, gazza's doublewides and these babies are a pefrect match for ant sick ba$tard like me or you, i give them five flamin' minkeys for their strength | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
