Hi folks ,
Wanted to know if anyone out there has had problems with their Continental presta valved inner tubes . I bought some new ones on evil bay a while ago , and had two of the centre brass threaded bits break off in the last couple of weeks ! I'm not ham fisted !
Mike :cool:
 
The only ones I have are Race Lights I use in my Grand Prixs, but haven't had any problems with the valves in the two pairs I've had.
 
Nah, I only use Conti presta tubes as well and never had any issues....

Only grumble I've got is that they've changed the colour of the valve caps from yellow to black!
 
I've had issues like this, though found it to be pump specific. No problems with a track pump, but when using a mini pump I've broken the odd one, despite being careful.
