I'm after changing the standard inners in favour off some light weight jobby's

Which of these are the better option, could do with a poll

1) Maxiss ultra light
2) mitchelin air stop latex
3) schalbe

    Are latex stronger material ?

    Took the standard tubes out of my Ralph's was quite suprised how heavy there are.

    For the weight, yes, but is slightly porous.

    I think you should go tubeless.

    the maxxis work well for me, significantly lighter than standard tubes and dont get any more punctures than i used to. run them at pretty low pressures under some rubber queens and ride on lot of rocky terrain with very few pinch flats. the vales are a bit fragile though
