LATEX TUBES!

[gump]

Hey Kingroon - how much are they, could be worth sending/bringing some over!

All the 'lightweight' speccy tubes I weigh are around 180g. Thats not light!!

:roll:

I'll find out today mate

Sending a heap of stuff back to the UK in a bike box tonite so wouldn't be too much of a stretch

Okay, I have access to some Tioga SuperLight tubes.. Long Presta [sic] valve in a 26" x 1.5-1.75" flavour.. Price will be GBP4 + P&P..

Anyone interested?

Those Hutchinson greens are butyl and heavy duty.

I use Michelin greens (latex) on and off road bikes

+ : confortable (especially noticeable on road), reasonnably light, won't pinch easily when mounting, some say better rolling, thorn and pinch flat resistant, easy to mark puncture holes, glow in the dark (not)

- : more expensive, tendency to explode loudly without warning (at road pressures), some punctures are unrepaireable, have to pump up often (almost daily on road).
