I’ve been using Ridenow TPU TUBES for 6 months with my Continental 5000, beautiful combination, they roll beautiful, great puncture resistant and they stay inflated for a good 4-5 days , just a little air loss. Also I’m able to carry two TPU tubes in my saddle bag along with 2 Co2 cartridge. Never going back to regular tubes
I'v been using the Vittoria Ultra light speed TPU tubes for about 2 years now. I use them wether with Conti GP5000 or Veloflex Corsa evo, both in 28mm, and to me it's a perfect combo. Comfortable enough and minimal rolling resistance. I'm willing to try tubeless someday but I keep postponing it because I'm so happy with my current set up.
Bro...I'm a bit anti tubeless myself for road bikes ...I just dropped a mint set of Mavic r-sys alloy with Conti Gatorskins on the TCR the other day ...gonna tear it out this coming week
I gave out Tubeless Pearl Necklaccs to many a rider behind me. Tubeless is such a pita.. went back to tubes and not ever going tubeless again. Also switched to RideNow. A bargain.
This is VERY SUBJECTIVE. For as long as my bike rolls and brings me home, I will still stay using tubed (any type) tire/wheelset. Going tubeless is not my cup of tea....
I'll bet you can't tell the difference between tubless vs TPU. If you ran the same tires, same pressure and same bike and the only difference was tubeless vs. TPU you wouldn't notice the difference.
its been done the winner always latex for feel there is no point of tubeless in road if u know what ur doing but to each his own , but if im in back of u and the tubeless crap is all over me and my bike , we cool if u clean it , im serious , i need NEW KIT OF WE WILL FIGHT !!!!! for those old enough o saw this invented THE FIRST USE WAS JUST PUNCTURE PROTECTION IN TUBES
I ran them forever and had one puncture in 3 years. Have been flawless! I always use talc powder inside the tire to allow the latex to move freely to avoid any chance of pinch flats.
@@stibra101 that would be your experience we all forget that , in mine , i had a broken spine , 3 of my vertebra are fused , i bought a 300 kinetic seat post . it was a little help 300. lol the bike was stolen , now i went suspension fork 80mm travel latex and gp5000 32 on road rides and guess what no pain , and this frame is aluminum so in my humble handy caped thoughts is comfortable as hell , and im 46 so
@@stibra101 in ur perspective as a DICK of course just had to put the TRUTH in the ethos . im sure ive been clear , ur just what at this point , and im saying so , cause i dont think any man would act like this in person and im short with stupid

Stick with what works!!
Has ANYONE mentioned TPU should not be used on any rim brake or hooked wheelsets?🤷🏽♂️
Have been using them on hooked wheels for over a year, works just fine

🤣🤣🤣 may end up back on tubes, see how this season goes

Of course it is, it’s the internet 🤣😎
Road tires lack volume to make tubeless viable.
Why I am trying 30mm -34mm 😂

Can definitely tell the difference on the rougher pavement. In smooth roads the TPU feels same if not better

I used to run Latex - for about a year - and I had TWO blow outs with them. Scary AF. Never again.

What was your mistake with installation? Rim or Disc? Tape on the rim?
Get proper 320-350 TPI Cotton tires first, not vulcanized GP5000
but they have the least rolling resistance of all tires made they are the fastest tires made in rolling resistance
@@CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte And it it the least comfortable tire
