DaLoCo Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 This is cool...will save weight as well as the issue of having to maintain slime.... Michelin self sealing tubes
Christopher Brunsdon Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 CRC sell them http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=61939 R66, not bad. Will get a set for my commuter.
timM Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Anyone used these? - would be keen to hear if they work!
Mojoman Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Just use those dik thornproof tubes you get at Game! I have not had a puncture in over 1000km. The extra couple of grams in weight bothers me not as I eat pies anyway!

The extra couple of grams in weight bothers me not as I eat pies anyway! Well the price from CRC for these are worth trying it out. I currently run 300ml of OKO in each tube ... I'm not weight weenie
Tankman Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 What do you mean without slime? "The company's Protek Max tube not only contains a sealant, but is designed to compress when punctured to assist the self-sealing process"
AndreZA Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 What do you mean without slime? "The company's Protek Max tube not only contains a sealant, but is designed to compress when punctured to assist the self-sealing process" It does not have Slime®. It has another type of sealant.
Bike Mob Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Well the price from CRC for these are worth trying it out. I currently run 300ml of OKO in each tube ... I'm not weight weenie 300ml of OKO...jeez is there any room for air?
Face Plant Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Well the price from CRC for these are worth trying it out. I currently run 300ml of OKO in each tube ... I'm not weight weenieDamn chris that must be about 800g of sealant... that must throw one hell of a fountain if you get a sidewall cut
Danger Dassie Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 It still contains sealant though, the idea is to aid the sealant by compressing where a puncture occurs. Darn fine idea, would be great to try out.
Christopher Brunsdon Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 300ml of OKO...jeez is there any room for air? Who needs air when you got OKO ... greq up with permatubes, ok
