Reviews over the

Continental Race 28

With some Continental Race 28 tubes, once the tyre is inflated, the nut screwed into the valve unscrews with the pump! Impossible to inflate! So you need a pump that clips onto the valve, not one that screws onto it. Nonsense.

Valve turns with the cap, totally absurd.

Three out of 5 inner tubes punctured. Small hole just next to glue seam almost in the same place. Rode at 8 bar and read in a review that this would also be the maximum pressure for this tube. Had never heard this before.

Pros & Cons

I ordered inner tubes from Continental for my new wheels. I've had several punctures (5 already) while I normally don't have many. Both front and rear (the front does not happen at all). Never found a sharp object, there was always a small hole near the glue seam. These tires seem to have a manufacturing defect, I read about more problems with them!

Pros & Cons

I always had Schwalbe tubes. Following reviews about this Conti tube, I tried these. They lose pressure quickly, after a few days I have to pump a bar again. Recently I had a flat. The new tire was flat a day later, there was a weak spot in the rubber of the tube. Replaced again, 2 days later flat again, crack in the glue joint. No more Conti tubes for me, back to Schwalbe.

Pros & Cons

These are the worst inner tubes I have ever had. The nut to inflate the tire is screwed into the valve. If I use my Lezyne hand pump, inflate it and unscrew it, the whole thing comes out of the valve (at least in 2 out of 5 cases). It punctures much faster than my previous Michelin Airstop tubes. Worthless to me.

Pros & Cons

Valve said poof after inflating End of inner tube

Changed the tube, filled tire with cartridge. Upon unscrewing pump with cartridge, unscrew valve!!!! Tire deflated again.

Ridden flat three times in one ride, each time a hole around the valve. I suspect this is a manufacturing defect but still a waste of this product.
