Looking for a good set of light inner tubes for a pair of carbon road wheels. Any suggestions would be most welcome! cheers

    Go latex. Doesn't get much lighter than those.

    Just buy lots of pumps and keep pumping if you do get them.

    conti supersonic
    maxxis flyweight

    in reality you have to pump them just as much as latex though, but they roll up in a smaller package, so better to bring along as spare tube.

    I race using supersonics.
    Great deal on Vittorias here for cheaper spares if the wallet suffering.

    I'd get a set of proper tyres, lightweight tubes wont offer much protection to your carbon rims :shock: :wink:

    +1 on tyres.

    Get either Schwalbe Ultremo R1 which weigh 180g or the New Bontrager R4 Aero which weigh 160g. Those should be light enough for you :wink:
