Ultra-light tubes for BMX, worth it?

Saving weight is the name of the game, but how does that transfer to bmx race tubes? We're testing the bluetech tpu tubes to see if lighter tubes actually make a difference.

This is what consumers need, not 100% scientific but gives us a pretty good idea if the investment is worth it. Would like to see the same with other products e.g. Onyx vs Profile Elite hubs, brand carbon vs aluminium rims (Alienation TCS) rims, ti vs db SS spokes, maxxis vs tioga vs other tyres (tires) etc.

So sounds like the fans want some more head-to-heads!

Tubolito are awesome. As long as you don't mind throwing them in the trash and fitting new ones every month. The Ultras are about 50% better 😄

Not my experience at all. Went to Tubolito this year have had zero issues. I take my pressure down after I ride to 40ish. Good to go. Most people who say they are a rip off have never bought them

@@andrewgrando9675 The valves fail. I only had I think one puncture. They replaced 4 for me but I gave up as they're just too unreliable. I tried them for over a year and went through exactly 10. It wasn't the wheels because I used them on a couple of types. Was a very expensive failure..

Is that first measurement 30foot or hill?

[@FullTiltBikeCo]

it's 30ft. timing strip is placed right at the tip of the white line on the hill.

@@FullTiltBikeCo nice rips! Any lighter, faster, response is a positive. I think the manufacturers need to understand a bmx rider would take anything lighter and/or reliable than 8 dollars tubes. Also, pressure rating needs to be clear and handle 110 psi for seating the tires. They patch well, incase u leave them in the heat, full of pressure. All the fast riders have them these days; and Race Lee 😅
