Review on 🚴 Tubolito Tubo Road 700 x 18-28mm Tube - Premium 80mm Presta Valve by Eric Ramen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

80mm stem out of spec, stem won't fit my carbon rim

I love Tubolito's promise. Very light, easy to fold, not cheap, but have a number of advantages over rubber. However, the 80mm Tubolito uses a bonded valve extension to achieve an 80mm length. Where they connect hose and extension, the diameter increases to 6 mm. I cannot install the valve in my new lightweight Milestone 24mm clincher rim brakes. Other wheels may be more forgiving, but lightweight wheel owners are known to not fit. Other lamps like Continental work fine. Very disappointing. I like the product and I hope they can solve this problem in future products. I don't want to be negative, I just want others to know they might have a problem.

Pros
  • LIGHTWEIGHT: It's easier to accelerate and maintain speed when you're light, and Tubolito makes for weight savings! Up to 2/3 lighter than a standard tube!
Cons
  • Expensive
