When you roll out the Monty Shasta tube for the first time, you will see that the surface is smooth and even. There are no manufacturing defects or material irregularities. The valve is firmly in place and straight, which indicates precise workmanship. The seam created by the vulcanisation process is also clean and barely noticeable. The material thickness is well thought out: it is not too thick to add unnecessary weight, but sturdy enough for everyday use. BikePeak has opted for a classic deep black colour. Overall, the inner tube looks high-quality and can definitely compete with well-known brands. Those who pay attention to details will recognise the quality here.
