no issues with the inexpensive RideNow tubes purchased from Aliexpress
( my RideNow tubes have different valve stems than pictured above )
just had issues with Aerothan valve stems - and user error partly to blame
gotta be careful not to over inflate before installation - apparently this has been an issue with some (?) …
I like that the tpu tubes hold air well - as good as a butyl tube … and maybe slightly better than a lightweight butyl tube
at one time / years ago - I ran latex tubes in my bikes … primarily Air-B … had to pump them before every ride

Nope.
Ironic.
Among other things, the plans for the building, local and campus newspapers, the course catalog from that year (1928). No singing frogs, though.

I rode Stage 2 of Tour de Zwift last night, again opting for the B ride of 20 miles vs the A ride which was 29. I found a group that became either the 3rd or 4th group on the road. My position varied between 95th and 120th, but as the group distilled down it hovered between 100 and 104. I tried not to be TOO much of a dick - pulled the group a couple times including using up an Aero power-up just to be a nice guy. But I find on Zwift that whenever I get to the front there's always someone who wants to be ahead of me. So I let them - not gonna kill myself just to work harder! About a "mile" from the finish line, I decided to spin up to 300w and see if I could carry that the rest of the way, and that worked. I think maybe two riders came around me but one of them faded so I ended up 101st (IIRC) on Zwift, though it shows up as 69th on ZwiftPower. I thought about sprinting at the end but it was all I had to just cross the line at 300+watts.
I was so gassed I basically hung my head and closed my eyes while slowly spinning a low gear for about 3 minutes to get my HR down below 100 again.
Power-wise, 2/3 of the ride was Z3 or above, and HR-wise 92% was Tempo or Threshold. Seemed to me like a really hard workout, but Strava says it was a Training Load of only 68, and my HRV this morning is 8.7 - Proceed As Planned. So far, it's never told me "Take it easy!"

Studies suggest that if you are negative 4 days after onset, you don't have it.
I still think there is a decent chance I have covid, will test again tomorrow. My symptoms just started overnight so it may be too early, although I am confident I have a decent amount of viremia as we speak, it is not pleasant.

Tubeless should have lower RR, but it depends on which tire to a great degree. The old ones that were advertised as "not needing sealant" (I think Mavic had them) just had a built-in butyl liner, so no advantage. My memory from ST was that good tubeless was maybe ever-so-slightly better than a good latex tube, and then butyl was far below. Junky tubeless tires in between.
