We've used them in 25mm tyres absolutely fine for about six years. Last night's flat was caused by a large piece of sharp gravel, so not down to the tube.

Is this the national circuit series?
Looking at the dates, that was on Wednesday, not yesterday, so probably not.

@BrumJim - no, we were in Hull last night.
Tonight's is a hillclimb south of Sheffield. For some odd reason both of us are riding, although neither bike is set up yet ...

Those are the superlight tubes, not even latex. Quite expensive usually.

Vittoria latex tubes 700 x 19-23 (I use them in 25mm tyres) a bit cheaper here at £5.49 each;

Would you use in carbon wheels? It says not suitable.

We do. Whether we should is a different matter. But we do.
Note they're in my son's wheels and he's a 55kg lightweight so isn't heavy on the brakes. It's about generating rim heat and he won't when braking.

Good morning,
I appreciate that this is quite niche....
.... but for keeping a commute bike on the road, Square Taper (110mm?) and the chain rings are steel, that is what, an extra 250 grams?
... and of course reduced from £90 :-) !, but even so... https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/shimano-claris-r2000-chainset-170mm-46x34t/

And has standard 5 bolt spacing, so replacement rings will be cheap

Don't think you need to apologise/caveat for "niche". Are ST chainsets niche? More niche than latex tubes or Thailand leather saddles?
Excellent spot and great value. Could easily put a £10 48t alloy ring on there if 'steel'/weight a concern:

“If you don’t take it, it’ll end up in the garbage”… obviously the price was right.
I changed out the bars and stem to suit my ruined back, it makes for a pretty quick commuter.

@IanSmithCSE I run that on my mongrel hardtail drop bar, with 29er 2.1” tyres and a 11-30 cassette it’s perfect for commuting over rough ground with… i am a natural 70-90rpm kinda guy so prefect for me.

Good afternoon,
Some days the commute is something that has to be done and is not fun, on those days changing gear is a chore, a real 1st world problem, so 46x11-28 is a 1x for the almost the whole route with just one hill needing a chainring change.
I did look at the unbranded alloy/steel chainsets that SJS/Spa and others have but this seemed better.

I have ordered one to try on my new (as in function not age) daily commuter.
