• Quick size comparison between the RideNow ultralight road inner tubes, Vs normal butyl rubber inner tube.

    First impressions (without riding)

    • super lightweight
    • very thin, far thinner than latex
    • don't think I'd class if as supple, it's supple in the same way a plastic bag is, if that makes sense
    • obviously takes up minimal space, but from the instruction outlines, once inflated, the shape will change permanently

    So far it's freed up a lot of space in my saddle bag, so, a win in that respect.

    Like polyurethane condoms

    I've installed one as an emergency tubeless repair then taken it out once back at home and uninflated it back to its original size again so that's definitely doable.

  • I had two tubilto inner tubes over the years as spares. Both failed at some point and had leaks when I went to use them. I’d you’re keeping them in a bag I wouldn’t keep them loose.

  • Any updated on your Ride Now lightweight tubes? I’m about to order some as spares.
