Tubolitos are a $35 tube that claims to be half as light and twice as resistant to puncture. They sent me a box of 'em and I went a bit hard with a proper review testing those claims... Sincere thanks to Maty and Parker for taking their bike apart for this... Give them a follow on insta.

As Parker mentioned, the biggest tell would be to go back to regular tubes. You don't often notice as much when things get easier, but when they get harder it's pretty clear to you right away.

BMX riders are not the only market. Roadies care about weight even more and spend a lot more than 35 bucks to save a few grams (even more important when it is rotational weight).

[@kas8970]

[@Rxu844]

I like that someone is trying to make the tube better. It seems to be the most overlooked park on a bike and it keeps us off the ground so arguably its the most important part of a bicycle. But for 35 dollars I could almost buy some folding tires that are more than four ounces lighter instead and I feel like those would last longer. I go through tubes so much I would spend a fortune if I ran these. Patching tubes doesn't work where I live because the thorns and glass are everywhere and without slime I get about 20 flats a month.

[@americanFootball71]

It's a tough call, I think they just need to be a little cheaper. Also most tyres are very heavy these days so going for some foldable tyres is probably more cost effective.

[@Georges.Abitbol]

I went with a shadow seprent tire front and another foldable (s&m) at the back vs rigid old style tires. Huge difference! It's like upgrading a pc from HDD to SSD. "Affordable" and really effective. I can't imagine what it would be if i go with these tubes.

[@rgw1380rw]

I got my Performer from Albe's in 2018. I'm kind of pissed that I wasn't thinking about purchasing some of those dope decals they have. After a light sticker bombing, I don't have one decal from the shop where the original bike was purchased on my bike. I also saw these odd looking tubes, but was kind of sceptical on trying out a set. My bike's a bit customized, but I just ride it casual. I thought that the orange tube would just be something that would be cool looking, but as problematic as the usual rubber tubes we've all had the various issues with.

[@benson4u215]

Do you ride through areas littered with shattered glass from car wrecks and goat head infested trails? I run slime tubes and cult dehart tires that weigh almost three times more than my wheels so that weight is fealt

[@matthewgates4130]

There it is

[@StreetDreamzTT]

It’s cool they are trying new things. As time goes on, maybe they will get cheaper. I’m not much of a person to bother about weight so I never looked into them. I just kinda get used to what ever I put on. Interested in how they hold up to objects on the street. I get maybe 2 flats a month because of stuff I run over but I just patch and maybe change the tube after 6 patches. Will give these a try if I catch them on sale.

[@Janus1000]

If for no other reason, I'd love to have these for a more minimal bike repair kit. Most of my bikes are either tubeless or have puncture protection tires (Schwalbe marathons). That makes me feel good for short rides around town or just a 5 mile mountain bike loop, but when I go on long rides I still feel like I need to carry spare tubes just in case. How amazing would it be to get what I needed into a jersey pocket instead of a saddle bag? Or slimming down to a sling instead of a small backpack when commuting to work with my other gear? Or even cargo pockets? Thanks for the video!

[@odysseaspalamaris1025]

The tube with the more mass presents bigger difficulty to change its rotational status ( for ex. to stop while moving ) or to change direction of moving. You could say the lighter one is easier to handle also the faster you go the more you feel the difference

[@coreywhitson6431]

Impact sound sounds more basketball ball like but it comes from a high psi though

[@kitvexed8229]

im curious to see how they hold up with smaller tires, ie 20X1.75 vs. 20X2.35-2.5 (in this video).. larger tires can handle more abuse so

[@stopglobalswarming]

I made something like that from an industrial hose and a Shraeder valve off an old tube. It was horribly stiff but didn’t flat.

[@AleksandrRudiak]

I think if you would change your spokes to ti and your tube to tubolito you could clearly feel the difference which rotation inertia does

[@amberalexisfit]

The Real benefit comes in against pinch flats...The material is more rigid than regular tubes so, they are less likely to create tire rollout at lower psi. I have been using them for a few months now and they are definitely light. I got a pair for 22.99ea.. at Bikeinn.com with a patch kit, so I figured why not. They hold up quite well. It's more about less flats than just the weight savings.... Enjoyed the Linda Vista coverage, thank OurBMX....

[@hoodrichallstar]

so the tires feel harder at less psi. what psi did he run on the street? so for street, now we will have to run 25psi compared to 45psi

[@OurBMX]

The difference is because of the thickness/material of the Tubolito vs the traditional tube...kind of like riding a really thick tire with a bunch of tread versus a smoother, low-profile tire. In the end, PSI is still PSI, but it's up to your personal preference.

This video was filmed over ten days, not 15 minutes of riding. Pretty much everyone at FISE runs these tubes, so it makes sense that the tubes that exploded were Tubolitos. Hard to know/justify that a traditional tube wouldn't explode under the same circumstances.

Unless the patch is different to others they're never as strong after a patch so for doing drops or landing flat it can be risky. Why we toss away tubes in bmx.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

So science here. Rotational weight is affected by rotation speed. So at slow speeds or the wheel stopped no difference except basically the real lost weight. At high speeds it can be like 4 times as much felt weight lost. It can maybe go higher. But it depends on speed. If you do alot of shit at like a half crank to a crank in speed then its not as big as say if you Gary Young 9-30 at everything.
