Does this inner tube ride like an air inner tube? Please explain differences.

It rides close enough for my comfort. The time saved on flats and air checking as well as pumping are well worth while considering. Mounting rim as well as the inside of the tires --not that hard. I did grease the inside of the tire and the rim to help with future spoke adjustment and to prevent rust from the inside out. PEACE

For the one I've ridden several thousand miles now, a 26" x 1 3/8", the answer is yes. Moreso than the airless tires I've also tried, close enough to an aired tire I find no practical difference. It rolls pretty well too. The biggest tradeoff is how hard they are to mount. The smaller the diameter, the higher the equivalent pressure, and the harder to mount. My brother is using a larger one, and it wasn't nearly as tough to get on.

No this tube makes the bike feel heavy, and does not ride like it did with the air tube.

no it ride a little harder no bigie but if u can get the tube/tire to mount the rim w/out spinning on rim good luck I've tried lots of ways asked bell for info.talked to many bike shops with answers so I say good luck with that hope this helps

It isn't powered. It's just the flat bottom piece, two vertical tubes, some carbon, and plastic heads for the tubes. You need a power head or some other air-blowing device to make it work.

I think they are probably a little heavier though I haven't really noticed a big difference. Very happy with the conversion. I had to pump up my tires every time I used them. I even put fix a flat in the old tubes but no real change.

Damian, as the other answers note, it is a tubeless ire. Thanks for your interest!John

Although I purchased the Men's version, there is very little difference. I am very happy with this bike. It is extremely lite in weight and remains pretty rugged. It picks up speed with little effort and I love the ride. The only complaint I have is the tire tube needed replacement after only several Months.

It is a thick vinyl and not like a rubber inner tube from a vehilcle. I would not trust it dragging across sharp rocks and you should stay with auto rubber quality inner tubes for those times. This is what I use floating on lakes and not on SHALLOW creeks, streams or rivers.

Mine came complete with air nozzle and you do not need a pressure guage. Because you dial the pressure you want and it shuts off at that pressure when tire is full . The beauty of moving and storage. Are added. Bonuses

The previous poster is correct it doesnt fly per say but you will get good air and it will float just off the water for a second or 2 during hard cornering. Also it is extremely stable up to the edge of sanity my 2 small kids (6 and 9) love it more than a tube cause of how stable it is.

I am not familiar with those. however, the inner tubes have performed very well in the city of murfreesboro, TN. My college girls were continuously getting flat tires and with these inner tubes i haven't dealt with a flat yet.

Confirmed! There are tubes that are a flexible type of material. Whether its rubber, I do not know...

It has everything you need but no compressor. It comes with a valve stem thing you can put literally any where. I found a hole in my frame and mounted it there and when you want to put air in it it's like filling up a tire. It is easy to add a compressor later in time. Although if I run a compressor and tank you will need a deal like a gauge with a switch thing on it I got from firestone that lets you controll the air pressure in the cab which I think was like 60 bux. But like I said you can always do that later down the road.

I agree with Jon C's answer. A bicycle tire holds only a fraction of the air compared to a motorcycle tire.

Wheels are hard rubber not pneumatic with tubes. The washers they supply with the cart fit a little loose so it's kinda wobbly. I got some washers at Menards to tighten up the clearances on the axle so it rolls a little quieter. It's still a little noise for my liking especially when I pull it behind my mountain bike.

If you mean the tube over the pump, then the tube is more convent if traveling, or some might prefer it. The one I use is the same formula as the pump, but is smaller and more compact.Hope that answers your question.

It's slick but it becomes tacky with friction, your call for trainer use. Tubes are tubes; I've run 1 1/2"s - 2 3/4"s in them just fine. Shoot for the lower for higher psi.

I have not done any rolling. I enjoy the sound of the stock tubes immensely.

The one I bought had a standard Presta valve. I do not know what you mean by "standard internal valve as opposed to one outside the stem." My complaint with the product I received was that the tube was about 3 inches longer than could be fitted into the tire. I wrote up a complaint against the not-clear-to-me sizing specs. on the package and advertizing. After I talked it over with the bike people at REI the tube SHOULD have fit in the tire. That it didn't was the company's mistake. Because I am not yet familiar with complaints to the manufacturer and returns through Amazon, I just ate the cost and loss. -- I also do not understand your "fits the 32 tire" question.
