I am preparing to replace the rims, tubes and tires on my '26 Touring and I wanted to get some opinions on stems and tube manufacturers.

After quite a bit of research on my own, I've determined that Bratton's tubes are the best available. Has anyone used them previously? Link for the curious: https://www.brattons.com/21-metal-stem-tube.html

Has anyone used both metal and rubber tube stems from the same manufacturer? If so, from who? What did you think about them?

I'm leaning towards metal stems because of originality. I'd love to hear some opinions.

Thanks!

Some of the information I have been reading is that some tubes, the rubber stems can pull away from the tube esp if not kept properly inflated, in that light and if you have the parts here is a link on how to install metal stems in tubes that came with rubber stems;
