Even tubeless converts need a backup plan, and that's exactly where the Teravail Mountain Tube 29er earns its spot in your pack. Built with standard-weight butyl rubber and a 0.9mm wall thickness, this tube strikes the balance between durability and packability that trail riders actually need. The consistent wall construction and reinforced seams that defined the Q-Tubes line carry forward here, delivering the kind of reliability you want when you're miles from the trailhead with a sidewall tear that sealant won't fix.

The 48mm threaded Presta valve provides enough length to work with most standard mountain rims while keeping the valve stem accessible through deeper rim beds. Removable valve cores add flexibility for riders who run sealant in their tubes or need to swap a damaged core without replacing the entire tube. The 2.0" to 2.4" width range covers the most common 29er trail tire sizes, and the 622 ISO diameter means this tube also works with wider 700c touring setups when you need a spare that pulls double duty.

Butyl rubber holds air pressure more consistently than lighter alternatives, which matters when a tube sits in your pack for weeks between emergencies. The tradeoff is a few extra grams compared to superlight options, but standard-weight construction handles the abuse of field repairs and repeated inflation cycles without developing the slow leaks that plague thinner tubes. Teravail packages these in recycled cardboard with soy-based inks, keeping the environmental footprint modest for a product designed to prevent trail-side disasters.... Read More
