Read the label on your cooldrink very carefully. It says, No Added Sugar. Two lines further it will tell you the total sugar content is X percent.

 

The 10% that knocked your socks off is 10% of the tube's contribution to the total drag of the wheel.

 

Considering that an average road wheel loaded to 50kgs creates something like 12 grams* of drag, a 10% saving of the 10% ontribution of the tube to that drag, is 0.12%.

 

Butyl tubes are still the best overall tube. This same study doesn't mention that a latex tube requirs a pomp more often than a stud buck in a cage full of does.

 

 

 

* Thumbsuck from distant memory. It is very, very low though.

 

Nice anaolgy :thumbup:
