Haven't had any problems with the tubes yet on the Brozz... 3300 miles + on the stock ones... planning to change them with tires come winter.
IDK and other members know more than I do, but I'm assuming the reputation comes from inferior rim strips and tubes.
When I ride off road on the gravel roads and trails around here I deflate to 20 or even 18 psi, but dont goose the throttle too crazy to avoid tube slip.
Haven't had a failure yet but that doesn't mean I am doing it right.
If I can milk the stock Brozz tires and tubes until mid winter, I'm planning on taking them off.
The long term plan is off season install a known good rim tape, heavy duty tubes, and new tires. At that point I would feel pretty darn comfortable running 18-20 psi while being mindful to not bounce the tires off logs and rocks too hard. Too hard of a hit on something solid at low pressure and I could see the rims bending.
