Rolling in...

These new Foss ultralight tubes arrived today.. obviously the best place to loose weight on the bike is in rolling resistance so thought I'd give em a go..

Somewhat worrying was the patches that were included however.... :LOL:

Going to try these out over the next few days and will report back how many punctures I've received :LOL:

Not bad i just top up once a week before a ride. Compared to every two weeks with my normal tubes

Any lighter and they would be 3 for a £1 out of a vending machine Some seriously sexy kit though

Yea extremely light, I've not weighed them yet but best place to save weight... :) one of the most overlooked ;)

shame you can't choose the colour of the valves

Yea would be a really nice option, especially at the price , but I can live with blue,, will work with the build.. :)

They are available off the bay fella.. I can live with having to pump them up as long as they dont go down during the ride :oops: :LOL:

:? I quite like Air-B's fella,, never had issues with them,, although I have put a little extra weight on since BITD :LOL: :LOL:

Yes indeed be interesting to see how they survive the northumberland hills.. :) , I can live with them loosing air over a period of time , as long as they dont puncture when they see a blade of grass I'll be happy.. :)

I'll update this when I've given them a run out... :)
 
What was wrong with Air-B's my fave inner tube (so I've just bought the modern Panaracer version) of course they're heavier than these transparent blue things.
In fact still carry and Air-B I used to use as my spare tube.
 
i always found air-b's useless as an innertube
pinch flats , this was bitd 95 or so we all tried them and all came to the
same conclusion rapidly

they may be better now
 
Nope they where the Air-B I was using too, well actually earlier than 1995, maybe they got worse :LOL:

I see this Foss is designed differently though, designed not really to be an 'inner tube' as we know it but a sealing skin like puncture sealant gloop.
