Jenson USA is selling road tubes for $1.70 each in a 10 pack, by far the lowest price I have found. Does anybody have any positive or negative experience with them? Thanks in advance.

all regular-weight butyl tubes are made by the same two or three manufacturers and are essentially the same thing. $1.70 per tube sounds like a good price.

They are fine. They are just heavy. I got Specialized lightweight pre-talced tubes on sale a few weeks ago for $2 each. I stocked up.

If you are any knind of a weight weenie, you won't want them. If not a weight weenie, go for it.
