Until recently, I always thought of tubes as commodities. That changed when I ordered Schwalbe tubes. They seem to be well made and the valve body is threaded and has a nut even for a schrader valve. They are more money than rest, but I think they will be better in the long run. I hope you can find the correct size presta valves because I agree that it has become more difficult finding the standard size presta valves. I don't like look of the long presta valves in a standard rim. And there is no nut on these long presta valves?
Tires have so many variables for choices depending upon the following:
- type of riding your doing
- speed that you maintain
- price you want to pay
- your personal preferences.
