    I’ve been using Ridenow TPU TUBES for 6 months with my Continental 5000, beautiful combination, they roll beautiful, great puncture resistant and they stay inflated for a good 4-5 days , just a little air loss. Also I’m able to carry two TPU tubes in my saddle bag along with 2 Co2 cartridge. Never going back to regular tubes

    I'v been using the Vittoria Ultra light speed TPU tubes for about 2 years now. I use them wether with Conti GP5000 or Veloflex Corsa evo, both in 28mm, and to me it's a perfect combo. Comfortable enough and minimal rolling resistance. I'm willing to try tubeless someday but I keep postponing it because I'm so happy with my current set up.

    Has ANYONE mentioned TPU should not be used on any rim brake or hooked wheelsets?🤷🏽‍♂️

    I gave out Tubeless Pearl Necklaccs to many a rider behind me. Tubeless is such a pita.. went back to tubes and not ever going tubeless again. Also switched to RideNow. A bargain.

    This is VERY SUBJECTIVE. For as long as my bike rolls and brings me home, I will still stay using tubed (any type) tire/wheelset. Going tubeless is not my cup of tea....

    Road tires lack volume to make tubeless viable.

      Why I am trying 30mm -34mm 😂

    I'll bet you can't tell the difference between tubless vs TPU. If you ran the same tires, same pressure and same bike and the only difference was tubeless vs. TPU you wouldn't notice the difference.

      Can definitely tell the difference on the rougher pavement. In smooth roads the TPU feels same if not better

    I used to run Latex - for about a year - and I had TWO blow outs with them. Scary AF. Never again.

    • @addictcyclist

      I ran them forever and had one puncture in 3 years. Have been flawless! I always use talc powder inside the tire to allow the latex to move freely to avoid any chance of pinch flats.

      What was your mistake with installation? Rim or Disc? Tape on the rim?

    Get proper 320-350 TPI Cotton tires first, not vulcanized GP5000

      but they have the least rolling resistance of all tires made they are the fastest tires made in rolling resistance
