ROFL. wetting myself now

 

[CopperCyclist]

Wonder why there are no reviews!

 

[DCLane]

I saw that earlier - and at first thought it was £40 for 5 or 10. But each

 

[Scoosh]

Ah - but ...

Weight - 29g

... so do they actually make your bike lighter ?

 

[youngoldbloke]

Well ........ they are very light, and they are almost £5 off! Oh -- and the special patches are around £12 for 5 ....... But as one review says, who'd buy them, when for the same money you could buy a top end clincher? And another comment points out that even posers won't buy them because once fitted they're invisible .

Not quite invisible - you've got the red valve with 'Eclipse' on it sticking out.

Come to think of it ... they'd go well on the Secteur

Why not just fill a regular tube with helium?

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

These tubes cannot be used in combination with carbon rims as the excess braking heat can cause the tube to burst which sounds like the tubes are made right on the edge of safe imho

I expect the rubber band it's wrapped in is stronger.
