TPU Inner tubes

finch:
Anyone here used them yet ? I’m not in the market for them myself I’m just wondering whether the hype is real

Sergeant Pluck:
Good question.

I was thinking of one as a packable spare (they are tiny and 1/4 the weight of a normal tube) but I am seeing mixed reviews. Problems around the valve area and difficulty repairing seem to come up regularly, so also interested to see if anyone is using them.

Jurek:
Spendy.

Sergeant Pluck:
Yes, but for those with weight weenie tendencies (not looking at anyone in particular  ;) the gram / £ saving is quite good.

But there’s no point in spending over £20 on a tube for the seat pack if it leaks around the valve when you come to use it.

Jurek:
Closer to £30.00  :o
£27.99 when it comes through the Wiggle till
