Pros & Cons
Pros
This is by far the heaviest tube i have ever encountered. I live in new mexico where the goat heads will kill a bike real quick. Nice valves—there are some cheaper presta valves out there with poor valve locks on them.
Kenda small block 8 tire. This tire is quite durable. Since i haven't got a flat since installing i assume they will.
Highlights
Quality
They came quickly and seem to be of great quality.
Outstanding quality and a very thick tube.
The item that i received has the correct part number however this tube has a 48mm long valve, not 32mm as listed in the product title.
*** update 04/04/17 - i am changing the rating to 5 stars.
Packaging/appearance
I usually use soapy water in a spray bottle as lubricant.
Competitiveness
In my case, with wtb prowler sl 29er tires, it took over 50psi to seat the bead.
It seated at a little over 50psi and i lowered it back down to 38psi afterwards.
Unless you're world class,don't worry about the weight.

This may not necessarily be a terrible thing
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
To give you an idea of how thick the rubber is it takes almost 20psi just to expand the tube enough to touch the tire
