The bike definitely feels like it accelerates faster with the lighter wheels and narrower tires at 100 psi. These wheels with Ridenow TPU 25g inner tubes weight almost 1-1/2 lbs lighter than the stock wheels.
I ordered a set of litepro aero and I am now looking for inner tubes. What are the inner tube options? Most 20" tubes have 40mm valves which should be to short however, I found some Bontrager 20" with a 48mm presta valves. are there longer options or will I need valve extenders?


or can the rim be set as a tubeless setup (much easier to find)?

Thanks
