Not happy with these when I pumped them up but on complaining the bike shop said they were perfectly useable. I'm not sure.

Thoughts? :evil:

    If the air stays in then they are fine! Their shape in use is dictated by the tyre.

    I would not use them, caps are the wrong colour.

    ^ this

    inner tubes have no real strength, they are just there as an airtight liner inside the tyre+rim, it'd these that have the strength to withstand the pressure, not the inner tube
