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

As far as its ability to move air, no difference. It is very quiet. As a conversation piece, it is fascinating. I keep it on a stage and I never worry about kids being around it. No blades to catch fingers or hair.

The air is drawn from the base by an impeller blade. It is then circulated throughout the circular rim, and forced through a continuous inner vent, around the circumference. The vent has sort of a lip and the air exits and feels like it is coming from the center of the fan. Very ingenius. It is whisper quiet and you can feel the air from across the room at the lowest setting. Never thought you could love a fan, but this puppy is great.

It is bike tube like inside the ring and you blow it up, not a pump.thank you

The inner is shielded, however I don't think the shaft rides on bearings. I speculate they ride on bushings at this price point. When I examined mine I was pretty confident that they are bushings vs. bearings.

Air. Solid tires. Take a lot of abuse. Be careful not to over-inflate. It's sometimes difficult to find replacement tubes except for bike shops and lawnmower service places. So it's not a bad idea to get a spare if available when ordering.

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.

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.

The tires are pneumatic..have had mine for a year now and I have not had to add air to them

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.

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

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

My tube has "original" on it. I purchased it on line and it seems to have a lot of air in the tube which I told the company on line - don't know if it impairs the size of the tube or not. I never got a reply from them. Why do you like the tube without original on it?? Be more specific!

Not that I remember. I have a bike with presta valve, I hated them. I will change them to tubes with regular valves.

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.

Like the others mentioned, the ride is just slightly stiffer which is good IMO. Handling is really unchanged and if you decide to use this or any kit that changes the center of gravity on you rig, just make sure you get the front end aligned.

Hello The difference with the both is quiet easy the non sequential pumps the whole leg at one time, as for the air sequential pumps each chamber at a time so for example it hits 1 then hit 2 then hits 3 then hits 4. As for non sequential hit 1-4 all at once.Hope this helps Erica
