Tubilito?
I’m sure it’s been covered but anyone run tubolito tubes? They are super pricey, by are they that much better?

I've enjoyed carrying one as a spare tube on my 650b gravel bike. Takes up so much less space. I've used it twice and replaced it with a standard tube when I've returned home after my ride.

I haven't needed to use one yet, but carry one as my spare for a tubeless setup. I assume they work and happy to pay the extra price for how much less space this takes up.

My original 700/32C Giant PSLX2 tires were bald after ~750 miles, and never had a flat or a leak, and always had awesome traction, and they were really cheap online at about $45 for the pair. So FWIW, a Tubolito CX and the slightly wider 35C tire are lighter in the hand compared to the factory butyl tube and 32C tire were. I didn't do a precise measurement but I guess it's an upgrade.

from what I've seen regarding rolling resistance, while they may be lighter, they're not any faster than pretty good butyl tubes like the continental race 28 light https://www.bicyclerollingresistance...#tubolito-road

Anyone know Tubolito compares to Schwable Aerothan tubes?
