Unpuncturable Inner Tube

[FootballingCyclist]

Tubulito have come out with a new upgraded inner tube called the "X-Tubo City/Tour" which is a Polyurethane Inner Tube which has a 1 year warranty against all punctures.

 

So buying 2 tubes which are going to last you 1 year guaranteed (if it punctures get another under warranty), Seems like an investment of sorts if you not the typa guy to patch tubes.

I also checked it now and there are a few which definitely don't exist!

I did find out though that Schwalbe make a super light, super pliable, fully recyclable inner tube which looks awesome;

It's expensive, but might be worth it as per 100 tours above

Thank you.

Looks great, but just check compatibility with current wheels : 700c tires from 30mm-50mm and 40mm valve.

On review, I think I puncture on average once every three years. I cannot justify this tjoob cost.

I have some raleigh ones with slime inside from Game in the mtb. They don't lose air.

Did you know that by reducing the air pressure in your tyres while storing the bike leads to longer wheel life and reliability due to the spokes not becoming detensioned. Store tubeless road wheels with the tyres inflated to high pressure results in the spokes detensioning. Latex has an auto deflate feature to prolong wheel life

Ah, but can they tell you how much air they have in them ?

Pirelli's Smartube has made its arrival in SA. As expected, pricing is a bit eye watering.
I don't think that these are intended to be all day every day inner tubes (or perhaps they are). If I was brave enough to buy one, it would be because its small in my roadie jersey pocket tool pouch as a spare tube.

These are not puncture proof as per this thread's title.
