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 is very smooth and aerodynamic. Just make sure you follow directions and install it correctly.

The main difference is that the version whith two wheels the flat it is whith out air, an the other version with one wheel it is with air.

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.

Not sure. I actually returned mine because I felt like I couldn't whip the tube around like I use to.

I used an inner tube. It's a pain to install but 2 months on my mini bike and I've had no leaks despite regular use.

The tubes are just that, tubes. I set up my tubes the way I wanted and over time they will straighten out. Even with curve, I have not noticed any issue with flow.

yes you do. bike tires are not like car tires, you need the inner tube to hold the air. I recommend a good quality inner tube that is thick and puncture resistant.

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.

The dual action pumps will expel air on both 'in' and 'out' strokes.If it does not, it is simply not that type (and shouldn't be advertised as such).

It's most likely telling you that because of the inner tube. Dont believe it. I run the same brand tire with the tube on my 07 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic and the ywork just fine. Last rear tire I swapped out had 15,000 miles on it. Not to bad and the price is right. Good all weather tire. Keep the air pressure at 40 psi front and rear and they will last for a long time.

The specifications do not have those numbers. All I can tell you is, we have three grand children and thier parents who use the "tube" every weekend during the summer and it performs extreamly well. Never loses air. Suggest you also purchase the special air pump they recommend. Light and fills quickly with supplied attachments.

as far as I can tell one is "commercial grade" while the other is not. The commercial grade one is slightly heavier as well. so probably thicker walls on the tubes.

It is just the tire only, if the wheel rim is in good shape you won't need an inner tube. Unless you have experience and tire tools, it is worth taking the tire shop, it shouldn't more than $10 dollars depending on where you live.

It moves air, a lot of it. And the moving air feels cooler but not like colder air conditioning would.

You cant even tell the difference it rides the same, the only thing it sit higher then stock for a while then the springs settle in and it will drop to its regular hight. The installation takes about 2-3hrs depending on your tools.
