Tubolito Road 700C x 18-32mm, 42mm / 60mm / 80mm Tube | Light, Strong & Compact | Rim & Disc Brake Compatibility | 2X Puncture Protection

I'm a big fan of road tubeless and I rarely need a tube. But I'm not so dumb that I'd go on a long ride by myself unprepared for some sort of tire failure. Considering I spent thousands on a lightweight carbon road bike, I wasn't going to add unnecessary grams with a cheap tube. So I overspent and bought this one. It weighs almost nothing, rolls up into a tiny little volume, and hopefully I'll never need to use it. I assume it holds air, I haven't tried it. Note: If I was not riding tubeless, I would not use this regularly in my wheels. It is very lightweight, but tubes get punctures and are prone to failure. These are too expensive to use and risk everyday. But in a spare kit, to get me home after a flat, this is perfect. But then I'd take it right out and put it back in my saddle back for the next emergency.

This is a weird tube! They are really light and compact. The orange color is pretty awesome. Installing them is when the weirdness comes out. The tube doesn't really expand much when air is added. It's plastic feeling and doesn't have much give. None of this really impacts installation. The ride is okay. I typically use latex tubes. These tubes don't ride as smoothly and they seem to have a bit more resistance (this is all anecdotal). They are lighter, but the difference wasn't as noticable as the change from butyl to latex. They hold air really well! I run about 60-70 psi. After a few days, barely any air has escaped. This is a pleasant surprise, especially when compared to latex tubes (which quickly loss air). After 1,000+ miles, I've had zero flats. I did order the special patches for the tubes, so if I do get a flat I can patch it. Are they worth $30+ each? That's a tough question. If they last longer than one season, yes. If they go bad sooner, no. Latex tubes typically cost about $20 and last maybe one season, so it is a wash in comparison.

I discovered Tubilito after having a horrible experience trying to go tubeless. Tubiltos make several claims and I can now back them up. They literally are 1/3 the weight of regular tubes I weighed them for myself. They are also lighter than the sealant in a tubeless. They seem to be at least as durable as anything else. I either have gotten lucky with no punctures or there is truth to the claims of being more durable, but knock on wood I'm going on half a year with no punctures. Not only that you can literally have 2-3 in your bike bag taking up the same amount of space as a regular tube. Last thing, they roll very close to tubeless and noticeably better than tubes so you aren't losing much, if anything, there.

The tube is lightweight and feeds fine into the tire. That doesn’t matter though because the valves on these tubes don’t work. I’ve bought four, and only one has a working valve. That tube has done well over a few rides. THREE Tubolitos for my other tire completely fail. Out of the box they seem fine. I’ll get one pump out of them if any and then the valve stem fails. I know it isn’t my pumps because they work on my other tubes. Very frustrating and expensive to replace.

I bought these back in October, they have been great, hold air very well and very light weight. Recently I decided the buy a new one to replace the one I have on my rear wheel, which has three of the tubolito patches on it (they work awesome, at least in my experience with them) but it looks likes the patches weren’t holding air so I bought a new tube, I received the tube, inflated it to check for any hole and a big bulge appeared by the valve, make it useless. I returned it and asked for a replacement. Got the replacement, checked it and again the same problem. Two times in a row and I get the exact same problem. Luckily I was able to fix my old tube with the 3 patches and its still going strong. I don't know if I was just unlucky or if tubolito is having quality control problems and amazon got some bad tubes.

I’ve used these tubes for a few years now and generally love them. They are durable and hold air well. I’ve never had issues with any tubes until now. I ordered some new tubes (these ones again) to swap out the old ones and to have a backup in preparation for a week long bike ride coming up. The valve stem leaked on one of the new tubes right out of the box. No way to patch it and no saving it. Was beyond the return window when I made the change and encountered the leaky tube, so I guess I’m eating the cost on this one. The other 4+ tubes of these I’ve used throughout the years have been solid. I guess it’s just part of the way things go and I’ll eat the cost on this one. *tube issues are not necessarily unique, but compared to a regular butyl tube, these are just more expensive to have sunk costs. Edit: after contacting the manufacturer directly, they shipped a replacement tube at no additional cost. Easy to work with and pleased with the performance of the tubes.

Nice tubes. I ve been using these for several months with no issues. Will purchase again

I have about three weeks riding on this tube. It is easy to install. It pumps up well and seems to hold the air well. I had been using latex tubes which I really liked. These do not have the same bouncy feel as the latex tubes but they hold the air much better, after three days they were only down 2-3 psi. I use a 23mm tire in the front and a 25mm in the rear, I inflate both to 80 psi which seemed to work well with the latex tubes. With these tubes I might be able to go a little lower and improve the ride quality. I have switched to these tubes over the latex because I was getting less than a year out of the latex before they failed. They usually split near or at the valve while inflating them for a ride. If these tubes will last two years then they will be no more expensive than the latex tubes, and if they last longer then they will be even cheaper to use than the latex tubes. I had previously tried a different brand of tube in a similar material and the valves on those made inflation very difficult. These valves work well and the tubes have been easy to live with.

Parfait

Ich bin mega zufrieden mit den Tubolito Tubo-Schläuchen! Die sind super leicht und halten echt was aus. Fahre sie jetzt schon eine Weile und hatte bisher keinen einzigen Platten – echt top! Das 60-mm-Ventil passt perfekt und macht das Aufpumpen easy. Kann die Teile nur empfehlen, wenn man leichte und zuverlässige Schläuche sucht.

Bei Schläuchen bin ich skeptisch. Hatte davor eine. aerothan von Schwalbe. Aber dagegen ist dieser um Welten besser. Das Gewicht war ca. 40g also ein paar Gramm mehr. Bei Schwalbe waren es eher 6-8g. Montage ist einfach, man hält sich an die Vorgabe und gut. Man braucht auch kein Talkum wie bei Latexschläuchen. Optisch schaut das Ventil auch geil aus. Passt zu meinen schwarzen Felgen… Und das allerbeste der Druck hält einfach. Hab noch nie so wenig nachgepumpt wie mit den Tubolito. Alle 1-2w reicht bei mir.. Habe die 60mm Ventillänge bei 35mm Felgenhöhe

Si quieres ahorrarte 300gs entre las dos cámaras más la de recambio, sin tener que invertir un pastizal, te las recomiendo cien por cien. Por ahora llevo como unos 200kms y sin pinchar, y eso que llevo unas cubiertas también ligeras. Eso sí, probablemente los parches normales no valgan y haya que comprar unos específicos. Por cierto, abulta menos de la mitad que una cámara convencional, por lo que no ocupa apenas espacio en la bolsa del sillín.

Much lighter than standard tubes . Did end up with 2 punctures after a 78 mile ride . Repaired them and still had a slow puncture elsewhere . Tried to blow them up again and it wouldn't inflate evenly .I'll probably stick with standard tubes going forward
