Sarashell Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Latex are really for racing and more expensive, so l would stick with Butyl.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Kev Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 HiBontrager 'standard' road tubes (700x18-25mm) are £5.49 each and have a claimed weight of 115 grams eachBontrager 'Lightweight' tubes (700x18-25mm) are £8.49 and weigh 65 grams each!!! 48mm valve Speedy Kev says YES to tube X lite tubes...Where else can you shave off 100 grams for an extra £6.00???!!! try knocking 100 grams off a wheelset for £6!!Bontrager also make an Ultra light tube at 50 grams, but at £11.99 each, that's a £13.00 increase for an extra 30 grams!!I rest my case.
