Specialized Desert Protection Schrader Valve Tube

This tube is compatible with 700c tires ranging from 28mm to 38mm in width, as well as tires between 1.9 and 2.125 inches. Please check the sidewall of your current tire to ensure your size falls within these ranges before purchasing.

No, the sealant used in this tube is specifically formulated to be long-lasting and non-drying. It remains liquid throughout the lifespan of the tube to provide continuous protection against punctures and slow leaks.

No, the valve core on this tube is not removable. Because the tube comes pre-filled with a permanent, long-lasting sealant, you do not need to add or replace it yourself.

While the outer wall is reinforced for puncture resistance, the tube features a thinner inner wall to balance the weight. The design is homogenous, meaning it maintains a smooth, even rolling feel without the imbalance often caused by pooling sealant.

It is versatile enough for both. While the 'Desert Protection' name implies rugged terrain, the size compatibility makes it an excellent choice for commuters and road cyclists who frequently deal with thorns, debris, or goatheads and want to minimize flat tires.
