      🤭 looking at my wheel right now with that sticker on outside (older plastic valve model), still stops the rattling but yeah I see why putting it on inside helps with metal bits if any. You learn something new every day 🤣.

    Nice overview. 👏👏👏 I have been using the older version of the RideNow TPU tubes for several years and have been very pleased with their performance. This upgraded version looks very nice. I'm surprised you didn't mention price as another advantage of the RideNow TPU tubes. BTW, I use a narrow strip of "double-sided velcro" (hooks on one side, loops on the other) to secure my spare tubes. They’re light, adjustable, and don't degrade over time like rubber bands.

      Same here..I used to use the super light weight 19grams versions but was catching flats because they were too thin..I moved to the 36grams version and they were very good...the newer 36 grams " race ready edition" with new improved stem are even better..they hold air better when bike is sitting

    The new and improved "ride now" tpu inner tubes are excellent so far..they hold air better w less flats...i used to use the light weight 19gram clear plastic stem versions but they were too thin and would catch flats often...the thicker 36grams were alot better w puncture protection..the newer 36grams "race formula" with improved stem are on point

      Good question - essentially yes but caution does need to be taken if you are doing long steep descents and your rims are getting hot. Personally I would revert to tubeless if I was doing a trip to the Alps for example.

    😅I have switched to these new tubes from a bigger brand if you like, yellow tubes. I like the treaded valves, the others don't have that. Can carry more spare tubes, much better. I have had no issues at the moment. But I am not silly if you can put air it it, air can come out. But still happy will the Ridenow tubes.

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews  8 місяців тому +1

      Generally speaking they are all pretty similar and it is about what you see as the most important element(s). As a rule the heavier they are the more puncture resistant they are. Similarly if you need to use valve extenders then there is also a weight trade off. As a pure race tube for TT’s I prefer the Tubolito. I’ve just got in from the Southwold Roubaix (100 miles) in atrocious conditions, wind, rain, mud, gravel, pot holes - you name it. I punctured (butyl) after about 25 miles and replaced with a Ridenow (heavier than the Tubolito) and was fine for the rest of the ride.

    As the valves are now metal are we happy to use CO2 at the side of the road with these?

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews  8 місяців тому +3

      CO2 should be fine. Just remember it'll 'seep' out quicker than air like it will with ordinary butyl tubes as the molecules are smaller.

    Been enjoying Ridenow tubes for over a year and enjoy everything about them except, they are really difficult to patch when you get a puncture! Tried their glueless patches and they just don't really seal the puncture. The patch just seems to slow the puncture's leak lol.

    You said that the reason TPU has a low rolling resistance is because of its light weight. If that's true, why does latex have the lowest rolling resistance but it is heavier than TPU?

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews  8 місяців тому +1

      True but I believe the latex test results have something to do with how the latex interacts with the tyre. If you’re after purely weight benefits then latex tubes can’t be made as thin because the material isn’t as strong. It also is less consistent with regards to it’s air retention.

    • @chrisyoung8062
      @chrisyoung8062 8 місяців тому +2

      @@RealLifeReviews That was the point I was trying make. The reason the rolling resistance of latex is the lowest, isn't because it's the lowest weight. I has to do with the friction within the tire. The statement about TPU being low in rolling resistance because it is light isn't really true. That's all I was trying to point out.

      @@chrisyoung8062 it's one factor, it's not the only factor but it the weight definitely has an effect. If you look at the BRR or AeroCoach data that does seem a pretty clear trend. For example, from AC, with Conti butyl tubes, they go: Race28 (104g) 34.3w - Race28 Light (78g) 32.7w - Supersonic (55g) 30.3w. So with the same tube type from the same brand it seems pretty clear there's a relationship between lighter weight and lower RR. Less material = increased flexibility I guess.
      Then different materials can be better or worse as well, and yes latex does seem better than TPU, with the very fastest tubes still being latex. But in the AC data the best TPU tube (Revoloop Ultra Race) is faster than their worst latex. From the data that is there I wouldn't be surprised if a theoretical 100g TPU tube would actually be slower than a regular 100g butyl tube, i.e. I suspect most of the reason TPU is faster is because there's less material there, not because it's inherently faster. In the AC data, Conti Supersonic butyl (55g) is faster than Tubolito Road (40g).
