RideNow 1/2/4 Pack Ultralight Bike Inner Tube 700 x 18-32 / MTB27.5/29 inch x 1.9-2.5 TPU Inner Tubes with 45/65/85mm Length French Valve Super Bike Light Tube

Yes, these are thinner than the vaunted Tubolito. But they work well and are as puncture-resistant as their more pricey Austrian cousins. The newer versions of these tubes lack removable valve cores so if you need to use extenders or want to use sealant in the tubes look elsewhere. Otherwise they share the traits of other TPU tubes: light weight, supple ride quality, and fun colors. At the price they are worth consideration for any rider who has disc brake wheels and wants a quality ride (or an ultra-compact spare tube that takes up little space in the pocket or saddle bag).

I put these in my Roval carbon wheels on my Tarmac SL-7 in early July and now have just under 4K miles on them with no issues. I did have a flat very early on from a small brad (a thin nail) but repaired it on the road with a Park Tool GP-2 patch (my standard bike bag patch kit) and it has held up perfectly since.The tubes loose a bit of pressure from weekend to weekend, but about the same as most of my previous butyl and latex tubes - about 5 psi. A pump or two and their ready to roll (28mm tires at 80-82 psi).The first two tubes I bought had the black valve stems and were sold off Amazon as Ztto Ultra Light Inner Tubes, but the boxes were RideNow branded. A third tube ordered as RideNow came with the clear stem but I ave not had to use it as of yet.There are a number of reviews complaining about poor quality control resulting in tubes that either arrive with holes or that fail within hours or a few miles of being new. I am sure this happens. While I have been luck to have never had that problem with any tube of any type, if you read the reviews on just about any type of inner tube you will see similar complaints for virtually all of the tube types and from all of the manufactures. I can't say RideNow is better or worse at this problem than anyone else, but I do know it is not exclusive to this company.

When they work they're great! Unfortunately after buying THREE tubes and only getting ONE that worked I was incredibly disappointed. THESE WERE ALL THE BLACK VALVE STEM VERSIONS.Bottom Line Up Front: I would not trust these for any long rides or even as a backup tube.The positives:- Low rolling resistance- Great easy to see "line" indicator to know the tube is centered.- Really easy to install with great directions and a dashed line to make the installation simple.- Bright pink color makes install super easy and avoids pinching- Very clear directions- Ultra compact sizeThe Bad- One of three tubes had a leak out of the package- Second of three tubes had a flat within 1 hour of being installed in a BRAND NEW TIRE.- Plastic stems on the tubes make CO2 use impossible and leaks out the side. Also many bike pumps will leak air when trying to inflate due to the smaller size.- Plastic stem prevents the use of a washer to secure the valve to the wheel, and an entry point for water on the wheel- TPU material is thin and prone to flats due to puncture. I had a flat on my first ride in the fist 2 hours on a brand new tire. I had ZERO flats with the same brand tire a diffferent tube over months.- Patch kit does not always adhere properly even with prep (alcohol). I ended up using a separate patch kit that worked perfectly so now I pack my own kit.

Light and had no issues with bad or defective tubes as some have had. They all held air and worked fine. Still got flats. I repaired a couple with glue and threw a patch on top. They seem to still hold air after patch but haven't tested on the road yet. Like to flop out when trying to install in tube especially if totally deflated. Just a general TPU tube issue, not these specifically.

no issues with packaging or quality of the tube. however, the valve did not seal. the presto, finger tight, leaked air down to 20 psi. I had to pump it up to 90+ psi, then quickly tighten with pliers to keep it from hissing. It had dropped ~70 psi by then. I did ride 20+ miles on it. It then lost all air over night. I ordered a replacement that arrived two day later. It was apparent the previous tube had been a returned as the replacement packaging was cleaner, the band was branded, and the valve hole tape was included. No issue with the replacement. For the pack size a weight, I'll switch completely to TPU tubes and replace instead of repair on the road.

These are my go to tubes. Extremely small, maybe 1/4 of the size of a traditional butyl and maybe half the size of a latex which means these easily fit into a back jersey pocket or even the smallest saddle bags. At 45mm, 65mm, and 85mm you probably will never need extender valves. These come in at a true 36g and this is probably 3.5X less weight than a butyl or half the weight of a latex tube, yet is more puncture resistant than both butyl and latex. But there is more, TPU tubes have about the same rolling resistance as latex tubes, thus TPU tubes are the smallest, lightest, and fastest tubes out there. If this wasn't impressive enough RideNow makes even lighter Super Light version at 26g. The only con IMO is that these things cost $15-$20 but even then a Tubolito costs $25-$38 per tube. I have put these tubes on all my bikes and knock on wood I have only had two tubes go bad. One tube the valve core was loose and could not be fixed and the other was a tube that had glass puncture it but was later patched.

These are the best tpu tubes I’ve used, the weight is as described and they give a supple ride quality and I’ve had none of the valve problems I had with the equivalent Pirelli tubes.Recommended.
