Comments about Novara Presta Tube 26 x 1.9 - 2.2:
The long stem length and lack of threads makes the stem unstable in most rims. I would not recommend this tube for most bikes/riders. Actually, I know of no MTB application that requires such a long stem. It adds weight and without threads the extra length causes the stem to tear out of the tube.

These tubes are the only thing I will use anymore. For the price they are the best. I went a full season of riding without one flat tire. Now thats value!!

Comments about Novara Presta Tube 26 x 1.9 - 2.2:
I bought two of these to replace the slowly leaking original tubes on my new used mountain bike and one for a spare. The original tubes had threads and a nut to hold the stem to the wheel but these do not. In the first ride on trail I got a blow out riding over a branch, a half inch gash in the tube without any damage to the tire. I replaced the tube and soon after got a puncture, patched with the Slime Scab patches[...] Out on the trail I got a another puncture and had to dismount, patch and pump the rear tire again. After that I purchased a cheaper tube with stem threads and nut from another company. Since you can get a better quality tube elsewhere I don't recommend these tubes.

MTBs do exist that have deep-v rims that require a 48mm or longer valve stem (Schrader and Presta). I have one.
