Anyone used these? Do they make a difference, are they worth trying?
pity those who don't drink, the way they feel when they wake is the best they will feel all day

    No weight given which doesn't help really!

    I use 26x1.0-1.5" tubes (Schwalbe) inside tyres upto 2.1"....weigh in at just 125g and cost just £3.99 - simples.

    Which little drop down, clicking product details gives no weight.

    Have been using Conti Supersonics on the Voltage with 2.5 Minions. The best part of 100g per tube weight saving compared to DH-specific tubes I can feel the difference.

    No probs with punctures or pinches

    HOW MUCH?

    I'll stick with my £4 option weighing 125g!

    £7 more and weighing 25g less... that's not a bad return!

    It's not in the grand scheme of things, but it's very easy to go through a number a year (unlike say a headset spacer), so compared to a less disposed of part (same price and weight saving) it's not as good value.
