Stephen a XC Rider from Las Vegas, Nv United States writes:
These tubes lasted one ride each, both pinch flats. Vegas is rocky, but I'm not exactly hammering them on a lightweight XC singlespeed piloted by a 155 lb rider running 45 PSI. If you have rocks at all on your trails go with a more durable tube like the maxxis welterweight.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:Price, very cheap for a bontrager tube.
Product Weaknesses:Weakness, price doesn't matter if they break.

Spend the money and get better tubes that'll last. These aren't worth the hassle. You can try your luck and maybe you'll get some solid bontragers.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:It's cheap
Product Weaknesses:IMPORTANT NOTE! When you're buying these they ship you various kinds of tubes for the $2.50/tube. I got the 700c Inline brand tubes and they are worthless. Much like another reviewer I've had 3 flats already all in the seam. I'll be riding down the road, not extra large potholes or rocks and I'll just hear a hiss come out of my tire. It sucks!

Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:There are none!
Product Weaknesses:I bought a ten pack of this product's predecessor. Seven of the tubes performed well. One even got 2,000 miles (I keep track). Three appeared to be defective, but I wasn't sure if I had crimped them or twisted them while mounting, so over all I was satisfied.
These aren't the same tubes. I have used four so far. One almost got 100 miles; one got 16; and two were DOA. One of the DOA's was my spare, so I had to walk home, luckily only three miles, but three miles in biking shoes is a hike.
All the tubes failed for the same reason: the valve stems separated from the tube. Twenty bucks for crap is tewnty bucks wasted.
My Bike:I ride a Serotta Legend Ti with Ksyrium SL rims and Michelin Race Pro 3's. I average 150 miles a week.

2.50 for a Presta Bontrager tube is great, I can't buy a Schrader Bell tube at Walmart for that. Haven't had anything but great rides thus far.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:Great Tube at a great price. I ended up order 2 then once I saw that they were Bontrager I ordered 2 more.

fantastic tubes for the price. STOCK UP! Long valves are good for the deep dish rims. As stated above the ratio of tube thickness to weight seems perfect. too thin (light) and punctures seem to occur more frequently, and heavy thick tubes make you slow.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:good weight to thickness ratio
