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.

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.

Oh that's good to know. Any comments on how it rode?

If they have been in a while (months), they do permanently expand. If you take a bit of time to get absolutely all the air out, they do roll up almost as small as when new thought.
