Is the Tubo Road Tube the Right Choice for Deep-Section Rims?

The Tubolito Tubo Road Tube with an 80mm valve is the same lightweight thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) formula as the standard Tubo Road, purpose-configured for riders running deep-section carbon wheels that require a longer valve stem to reach above the rim bed. At roughly 39 grams, it delivers the same significant weight savings over butyl while ensuring proper valve access for both inflation and pressure checks on high-profile aero rims.

Fitting 700c tires from 18 to 32mm, the Tubo Road pairs the 80mm Presta valve with the compact, puncture-resistant TPU compound that holds air longer than latex and requires no break-in period. It's a direct drop-in upgrade for road riders on 50mm or deeper carbon clinchers who want to cut rotating weight without changing anything else about their setup. A logical choice any time a standard 60mm valve won't reach the rim nipple.
