I tried to follow the very limited instructions on the box which involved a partial pressure of 0.5 bar before installing in the tyre. Having installed successful I tried to pump to the recommended 3.5 bar but I couldn't get a reading from the gauge. I pumped until it was firm but I did not like the uncertainty of not knowing the pressure. I tried several times with the pump gauge and also with a separate digital gauge with no success. I eventually decided to deflate and replace with a standard tube. Disappointing
I had a puncture from a thick nail that did not repair. I assumed it was too large to do so. Only by looking up reviews here and seeing the company's replies did I find that it works for small punctures AND you need to keep cycling as the motion makes the repair work. This is critical information that needs to be included in the box when you but it.
Haven't had any problems with these they do what they say.
Punctured on only my second use (on not particularly rough roads/tracks). Self repair failed to work and I had to walk home and resort to the good old puncture repair kit.
I'm sorry to read that the innertube did not seal itself. Holes made by thorns, small pieces of flint or small pinch flats should seal up with no issue as long as you keep on riding (important not to stop riding), the motion of the wheels spinning plugs the hole. If you continued to ride and the puncture persisted, the hole may have been too large.
If you believe the item to be faulty then please feel free to return it to us for a refund or an exchange.

So far so good, great price and two weeks puncture free and counting
I used it for the first time and as soon as I left home, after 5 minutes cycling the tyre was flat. I checked it and there did not seem to be any problem so I inflated the tyre again but the same happened. I checked the valve and it tourns aout that after pumping air, when I pressed a little bit with my hand I could hear air coming out. This is not fine, I read some comments of people having problems with the valve of this product. I think perhaps some are OK but I would not risk to but it knowing that it is a recurrent problem.
Unfortunately, it's been more than a month I bought it so I don;t think I can claim my money back but hopefully it will help other people to take a good decision.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback regarding this innertube.
If you feel that the product does not perform as well as it should, then you are able to return the item to us.
I will make sure that you comments are forwarded on to the team in charge of this product at b'Twin.

Self sealing inner tube, working great
So I thought I would replace my old inner tubes with self sealing ones.... nice idea.
So first outing, great ride out of about 10 miles just to check everything OK.
Second outing my front tyre was a bit soft so when to inflate... unfortunately it appears the valve has broken and the sealant has filled up the valve and sealed it completely... unable to put any air in but on the upside will not deflate any more.
Downside is .... in order to fit a new innertube I have had to slash the self healing one to get it out ... so the incentive lasted one ride - not really value for money then.
It sounds as if the valve is blocked. It can occasionally happen to self sealing innertubes from all brands. A valve can be removed and cleaned and replaced. Alternatively you can return it to us for a replacement.

got flat on my way to work but still made it all the way to my work-place. I left my bike for a couple of hrs and when I got back to check on it the tyre was completley flat. I took the wheel off for repair but then I decided to pump some air in and see how it holds. At first it was losing air but then after giving it a spin it sealed itself :) Just to make sure I left it for a few more hours to see if it was going to be fine and it was. Thus there was no need to fix my tyre (inner tube) and I got back home with no issue.
next to useless the bike guy at the shop said it would work fine yet i have a flat tire. avoid at all cost
Easy to install
Completely Useless
I'm sorry to read that you have a flat tyre.
I'm very interested to hear more about your puncture and why it did not remain inflated when you were riding. I want to feed this back to b'Twin as it will be very useful information to understand what went wrong. Would you mind replying to me?
