GAADI Presta Valve Tube

This thing is truly amazing. I have been a biker for decades. I own mountain bikes, road bikes, commuter bikes.I have changed many flats. It's never been an issue, as it's just part of cycling. That is until I converted one of my commuters to an Ebike. Once you have all those cables and wires strapped to the bike you realize there is no easy way to get that wheel off. Especially out on the trail or road. And doing so requires more tools than I want to deal with.....Present the GAADI. Leave the bike intact, just change the flat on the bike! It is so simple and easy, I'm tempted to carryone for my other bikes where taking the wheel off is really not an issue. I feared a rolling lump, where the two ends meet, but on my ebike with 26" city slick tires it feels like any other tube. Unless you have a back wheel issue, it is a little pricey at $15 a tube. However if you have anything mounted to the axle (panniers, hub motor, trailabike, etc) this is well worth the cost of keeping all that stuff bolted together and just swapping out a tube to a mounted tire. It does seem to have a lot more distribution overseas where bikes are used work as vehicles (carrying loads, multi-use) where changing a tube is more difficult. Most of our bikes are used for fitness/recreation and are built to be light and easily swap parts.

I drive a 170 pound solar/human powered ebike with enclosed body shell. Two rear drive chains and disk brake along with vehicle weight makes pulling the rear tire a serious chore. With this tube I don't have to pull the wheel to change out a flat or call a flat bed tow truck if I am stuck with a tube that can't be patched. My only concern is the diameter of the tubes this company offers are not large enough to be considered a permanent replacement in a 2.6 to 3 inch inch diameter fat tire. Because of the small diameter of this tube I can only consider it a temporary get home repair. I have endorsed the potential for this tube in social media groups for the trikes like I own. Waiting for a version for tires up to 3 inch diameter!

I have e-bikes that have hub motors. PITA to repair flats on the road. This makes it easy to get your bike back on the road without having to dismount the wheel. I have both presta and schrader valve types and will buy them again. I like that the valves are metal. I had to fix a flat because of a leak at the rubber valve of another tube.

Emergency spare so haven't had to use it but for an e-bike it will be a huge time saver as the wheel won't have to be removed to install this tube.. Looks well made and the rubber is fresh, not old and rotted.

Great concept for ebikes with rear hubs but the tube I received had a small hole in one of the caps. Discovered too late to send back. If you do buy this tube, test as soon as you get it.

Thankfully, I haven't had a chance to use it to verify it works. But I looked at the tube and it looks like quality made.

This is a great idea but it is for European style bikes and not for those needing Schrader type valves.

Side of box factory tested. filled it prior installation. Two leaks... too much of a pain to send back, not enough principle. Always buy at your local bike shop!

Guter Schlauch zum mitnehmen wenn unterwegs der Reifen platzt. Gut zu wissen ist, dass der Schlauch ein Vebtil im Ventil hat. Wir verzweifelten an dem Ding da Luft drauf zubekommen, bis wir gesehen haben, dass im Ventil auch ein Vebtil zum aufschrauben ist. Doppelt hält besser.

Seit 2 Monaten fahre ich täglich mit diesem Fahrradschlauch und bin äußerst zufrieden. Nach einer Panne hatte ich ihn eingezogen und dachte, es ist nur eine vorübergehende Lösung. Allerdings habe ich nicht das Bedürfnis ihn auszutauschen, da ich keine Unterschied zu herkömmlichen Fahrradschläuchen feststellen kann. Bleibt also drauf, bis zum nächsten Platten.

Der Austausch des Schlauchs geht blitz schnell. Es ist aber hierbei sehr wichtig genau die richtige Grösse zu wählen. Ich habe einmal eine zu kleine Grösse gewählt (Schlauchdurchmesser, nicht die Länge), so dass nach ca.300km der Schlauch an einer Stelle durchgescheuert war. Mit der richtigen Grösse fahre ich jetzt ca. 2500 km.

Habe keine Erfahrung mit dem Fahrradschlauch. Ich erhoffe mir eine unkomplizierte Reparatur bei einer Panne, da ich kein versierter Handwerker bin und es mir nicht zutrauen würde das Hinterrad mit Scheibenbremsen und Kettenschaltung auszubauen.

Das Bild zeigt eindeutig ein Autoventil, verschickt wird ein anderes. Das Bild ist eindeutig falsch und verwirrend!
