Found them on Amazon and was reading the reviews. Some nice things said like 'paper thin.' Overall it was nearly a 5 star rating, but some people were complaining about them not lasting long and some said months or years. One person typed that they do last on the tubes he buys, but quit early on cheap tubes from used bikes he bought. He suggested they don't work well with some tube brands.
Anyway, first I've heard of them and that was interesting, thanks.
