I recently unpacked the tubes for my main tires. They were folded all neatly in the kit. When I unfolded the tubes I noticed that they both had creases near the valve area. I then inflated the tubes to a low air pressure to see if the creases went away. They did not.
I?m concerned that this crease is a weakened area of the tube. I reached out to Van?s support and they didn?t think it was a problem. They also suggested that I contact Desser the supplier of the tubes directly if I was concerned so I?m trying to do that now.
I?m wondering if the braintrust thinks this is actually an issue or should I just use the tubes that I have and build on ?
