Do you just use these as normal tubes? Never seen them before; arrived in an order from wiggle. I thought I'd ordered ordinary tubes.

My bianchi has them but when I got a snakebite I replaced one for a spare tube a threaded valve because that's all I had. IMO they are the same as normal tubes, just quicker to change in the event of a p'ture.
Coming to think about I asked Wiggle if they done any tubes with a threadless stem and they never had a clue.

I think they are the ones that were fitted on my Bianchi as well.

i've got 5 vittoria ultralite 51mm sitting right here. they work fine, i use them mainly because one of the bikes has deepish section rims (can't use the track pump with short valves), so i may as well just use the one sort.
