Just done it! Worked a treat!

Learnt the hard way! In all fairness, they look like they are removable.

You are right. I should technically be saying decreased or less rolling resistance.

Yea, they are the newer version. I think they have refined their manufacturing when that started making those ones

They will always stain from dirt. It’s in avoidable. If you want to keep them clean I would only run them in summer

These would suit the pink on that bike perfectly for sure!

That is hot hot! Where do you live?

I think I justified it enough on the video. Yea no one cares about 2g. Would be insane to. But I already have the tape to stop it rattling in the rim and having the extra parts just makes it look a bit bulkier than it needs to be. I prefer to see it less on my bike and no point having extra things on I don’t need.

It’s the Silca Mattone. It’s quite a lot but I like it. Lumiere & co. Have one that’s very similar called the Falcon. It’s about half the price and I prefer the closing strap mechanism.

Do you use the glued in ones now?

Hey! It’s hard to say exactly without seeing you in person but here is my theory. If it still feels heavy and stiff, it’s likely the scar tissue around the break from the surgery. You should be able to massage around the bone. Will be a bit sore at first but will go quickly after a few days to a week. Don’t be afraid to rub around it with decent pressure with your fingers. Should help it go fairly quickly. (Will be scary and uncomfortable at first) Is all they have given you pendulums? I would have personally had you taking your arm above 90 at about week 3. Don’t be afraid to start some of the easier exercises on this video and get it moving. (Unless there is any specific complications they have told you?). Don’t swing it straight up there. Start slow and gently move into range. Your body will let you know where to stop. My suggestion is always work into where you feel it but stop just before it becomes painful. Opens up much quicker that way. Feel free to ask me if you have anymore questions. Either do it as a new question on this video or I won’t see it. Or you can email me @[email protected] Also can message me on Instagram @jasons_cyclingunboxed.

@@cyclingunboxed I tried rubbing around the bone with a bit of pressure as you instructed and it felt great. Yes they only gave me the pendulums in week 2 post op and they didn't say that I had any complications but I guess I was the one who's been scared to lift it myself. So I gathered my courage and I did the exercises in your video slowly but surely and I was surprised that I could lift it above 90degrees with little to no pain at all though it was heavy and uncomfortable. And now I can feel my arm is gradually getting lighter and comfortable to control. I guess it was my own fear of breaking the bone or the plate that made it heavy and stiff lol. Again thank you so much man for the super helpful video and info! Subbed! And I wish you all the best!

I do also like colour . I just don’t think the pink matches the colour scheme of this bike.

Are the new ones holding up better?

Thanks for the tip!

They are slightly slower but only about 1-1.5w per tyre, unlike the + 5w per tyre for butyl. I can’t personally notice something that small. I think about 10w is around the smallest gain you can feel in my mind

According to the companies, tpu is stronger as an inner tube than butyl or latex. In my opinion though, it doesn’t matter what type of inner tube you have, if something goes through the tyre casing, it’s 95% change game over for any kind of inner tube, no matter the material.

I wouldn’t be afraid of Ali express. It’s a legitimate website (even though some people do sell replicas of certain products). If you are worried, panda podium is made by a guy called China Cycling. Here on KZbin. Great account and a good website.(none of these versions on there yet though) For the tpu tubes though I think it’s hard to make fakes of them. Feel free to use the link I have in the description. Those are the inner tubes I have in my tyres at the moment. Otherwise the price goes up from all other websites.

@@cyclingunboxed ok ... i'll give it a go! 😬😬🤣

With the aluminium stem?

@cyclingunboxed the plastic..i only put 30psi..

* I use it on my road bike, MTB and city bike (I don't have a TT bike yet).

This is good to know! What is the brand name or link? I can see the nose suffering I guess because it’s shaped to allow a lot of pressure to be sat on in the forward tilted position. Thankfully haven’t had it personally. I guess if it works for you, it works!

Occasionally I've had a faulty valve core. I do carry a couple of spares in my saddle bag out of paranoia. Non removable valve cores had put me off TPU. I had also worried about the plastic valve stems (and heard of them failing). Also fixed on the new version.

I do run them on my winter bike (rim brake) But I run the heavier 36g versions. I have had not problems over the last 3 years. That being said, I think the air temp and the water stops them from getting so warm. Secondly, I believe the 36g versions are rated for rim brakes but the lighter 24 and 19g are not.

you have experience filling TPU with CO2? is the trick to just do it slowly?

​ @seanmccuen6970 Exactly. I keep the inflator valve halfway open and do it in multiple shots. First time, I did a mistake and blasted the full cartridge at once. Had to wait half a minute for the valve stem to unstuck while losing pressure in the tube. Also, don't know exactly why, but Co2 looks to leak out way faster, but good enough to keep you going for a century. 24h and it is gone, so needs to be replaced with air.

When they are built properly they are solid aren’t they. Also got around 6000k out of one for my front tyre. Lasted 2 tyres!

Which brand of rim tape do you have? I use the tubless tape inside (stans usually) which is pretty solid and don’t get them pressing into the spoke holes.

@@cyclingunboxed I was using Velox tape. Maybe I'll try tubeless tape and use it with tubes.

You had a bad experience?

@@cyclingunboxed yeah sir, i went all in and bought like 10 tubes from them for some reason... they literally cant be inflated because the valve stick doesnt stay attached to the surface it sticks to on the wheel or just where the valve goes when you have the tube. you try to attach the inflator and end up pushing the valve into the frame and making it imposible to inflate.

This video of yours is badly researched as way to much of your videos …. Just take a bit more time and thought in your work and it will be good !! But please not this stuff

You are right, it’s not that new. But they have been fairly hard to get your hands on I think. They are frequently out of stock on Ali express. That being said, I never claimed they were brand new. That they are just the newest version. I also don’t think the clear plastic valve is only for the 24 and 19g versions. For a long while I have only been able to buy the 36g version in the clear plastic too: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005531607940.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.70b22adfncn4C5&browser_id=4efda236920d42c18aabdfb519f75511&aff_trace_key=c71ab2dc4836421c915a0f8db3c9f6d2-1730231765621-02411-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=wxknihkuzecavjra194cd7e0171ebed96b51083c76&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21GBP%214.59%214.59%21%21%2140.26%2140.26%21%40210385a817386143747513587e3fa3%2112000033436624142%21sea%21UK%213860611378%21X&algo_pvid=2e2c3360-d02f-4151-9dad-57c66dc674c4

I honestly puncture so infrequently on these that I never use the patches. I only have the patches in my saddle bag if I end up getting x4 punctures in one ride. As you would expect, I have never got through that many.

@@cyclingunboxed thanks kindly for the reply

Thank you! You ride without a saddle bag?

@ I do put my spare ina pouch in my jersey pocket. For me, the saddle bag takes a lot from a bikes looks. And ur bike is very nice

I too had several pre punctured Ride Now tubes. Absolutely useless. However I have very successfully used Cyclami. Tried Pirelli but also had trouble with valves and one tube full of pinholes

Was this recently?

It won’t. But, ride now do have a 45g version designed for gravel and tyres that wide! Perfect again for spares. Here are some with the removable core (less lengths available. The normal plastic valve ones seem to be more accessible in the 45g www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007365371673.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.33cf3814iBVadK&browser_id=4efda236920d42c18aabdfb519f75511&aff_trace_key=c71ab2dc4836421c915a0f8db3c9f6d2-1730231765621-02411-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=wxknihkuzecavjra194cc68e5e816d91cd061b9711&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21GBP%217.21%216.76%21%21%218.60%218.06%21%402103864c17385962142288743e96fd%2112000040446989992%21sea%21UK%213860611378%21X&algo_pvid=f524fd79-7692-4ea2-a74e-68a5d4ae712c

It could definitely be a lighter version without tubless couldn’t it. I think it may help keep costs down though as they only have to make 1 version of tyre. Not that they would ever pass that down on to us 😂

Thank you for the suggestion! Which specific brand do you use?

@@cyclingunboxed the one I'm using is "Uni Paint Marker PX-30 8mm" - by Mitsubishi

This one was the Topeak Joe blow booster pump. I find it’s good for tubless

Unfortunately I will have to leave the help to someone else on this one. I haven’t used a thread on pump for a long time. For punctures I use the electric mini pumps (cycplus) or the silca press on head. Same with track pump at home, I use the lever heads. Was a problem i had a few time a number of years ago now. I remember the frustration

Very interesting. I have bought many of these tubes and I can’t say I have ever had the micro punctures. Seems off to me.

It’s a great suggestion. I have some coming today
