Desert Protection Presta Valve Tube

Delivery Icon

We deliver! Just say when and how.

Nothing in the cycling world is more infuriating than flats. We get it, because we get them just like you. But with our Desert Protection Schrader Valve Tubes, you can minimize, if not eliminate, flats at the terrible hands of debris, thorns, or whatever else is halting your rides.

Starting at the basis of the construction, we designed the tube to be thicker at the outer side, the part against the tire, in order to stop pesky bits from puncturing all the way through the tube. We then make the inner side, the part against the rim, thinner in order to reduce weight. This way, you don't have to sacrifice performance in the name of protection. We didn't stop there, however, as these tubes also feature our Airlock sealant that coats the tube for permanent protection against punctures. Not only this, but the sealant is designed to work continuously in order to prevent slow leaks from occurring, so erring complete catastrophe, you won't have to worry about flatting when you're riding over debris. We even addressed the common issue of sealant pooling with a completely homogenous design, so the tire/tube combo will always roll smooth and even.

Excellent product!!!

What a great product! Helps reduce the chances of a flat, with very little add weight! A the pricing (25% off) really helped seal the deal! So I bought 5, and the specialized rim tape, and a set of 26' Hard Rock,Crossroads tires for my 1996 Ground Control Variant! Keeping it O.E.M.

Noticeably thicker than original tubes; should protect better than the usual.

So far so good!

I had a flat with standard tubes the first day I bought my Rockhopper. I ride in pretty rocky terrain in East Tennessee. Having used these for my Sirrus X 4.0 I immediately purchased a pair for the Rockhopper. They are a little heavy but I haven’t had a flat or slow leak in either bike yet. I’m not ready to go tubeless… these seem to be the best tube until then. So far so good.

These are the best tubes

These are the best tubes I have ever used. I have only had 2 flats in 2.5 years. I ride in the desert on a regular basis and most thorns will not even puncture these tubes. These are quite heavy but well worth it. With standard tubes I was getting flats every 3 rides. When I change tires or tubes the tires are typically full of smaller thorns that don't even puncture these. Everyone says to go tubeless but I don't want the hassle, cost, and mess of constantly added sealant.

So far, all good. Tough

So far, all good. Tough and durable. Puncture resistant, already picked up debris on rides that didn't deflate them. Installation of these and a set of Butchers was challenging - I wouldn't describe either as super flexible - but that's the point right?

Would Recommend?
Yes!
