The Hard Truth Part 3: TPU vs Tubeless vs Latex

[@marcellusShale18]

What tires do you like using on the Ostro? Which have you found to be the easiest to mount on the Black Inc wheels?

[@addictcyclist]

I have GP5000 28mm clincher on Ostro with TPU tunes since they are light and have good puncture protection. All tires mount easy when you have this tool!! www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN8MS3C1/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_Z9V47XS20NT5YNDJ568D?linkCode=ml2&tag=addictcyclist-20

@@addictcyclist Thanks for the suggestions!

What brand of Tpu tubes are using, I’m using the Pirelli ones and no issues but expensive.

Glad you kept it!

Need to give it more time. Coming off the system six to the Factor Ostro, ostro is fast, light, and punchy. The s5 truely is a fast machine that likes to be pushed. Just not as snappy but makes up for it in overall speed. Can close gaps easier but not as fast and punchy like ostro. But can close gaps with less power.

Those tubeless tires are just too heavy. That's why I run michalin power cup clinchers 28c (31wam) with tpu tubes.

You are wrong boy, rolling resistance doesn't come from weight. It does come from elasticity of materials. Latex is the material with less rolling resistance which is in par with some tubeless setups.

I’m not here to debate. Stay tuned for follow up video clarifying some data and experience.

feelz vs. rolling resistance data?

[@addictcyclist]

No debate from me on the data. Lighter spins up faster. 110g for oz sealant vs 50g in TPU

Knowing good & well you don’t want to sell that Bike! Plus big Bro, folks be *hella cheap. You present a good deal, they want a better deal, 😒 *SideNote: TeamTubeless, 🙌🏾😆 #RobbArmstrong

sorry, guy: CF bikes cost the Earth to buy, but lose a massive amount in the second hand market. Those offers were probably about right.

[@addictcyclist]

They are decent offers, just not enough to pull trigger.

The Corsa Pro are great racing tyres but aren’t very robust for training……they are easily punctured and wear quickly, good luck. Not sure why you find TPU more responsive, the science begs to differ……

[@addictcyclist]

Tpu is lighter and less rotating weight. 25g tube vs 80 2oz sealant per tire. Unsprung weight matters when looking to spin up and feel punchy. Tubeless may be less rolling resistance per the science. Science also proves less rotating weight at outer most part of the circumference is faster to spin up.
