Overview

Is the Tubo Road Tube the Best Upgrade for Your Wheels?

The Tubolito Tubo Road Tube delivers meaningful weight savings over standard butyl tubes using Tubolito's thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compound, which packs greater puncture resistance into a dramatically lighter, more compact package. At roughly 39 grams, it's a straightforward performance upgrade for road riders looking to cut rotating weight without the complexity or commitment of going tubeless.

The Tubo Road fits 700c wheels with tire widths from 18 to 32mm and uses a 60mm Presta valve compatible with both standard and deep-section rims. The TPU compound holds air longer than latex and requires no break-in period, making it a low-maintenance, high-performance alternative to both butyl and latex options. It's the ideal choice for road cyclists who want real weight savings with the familiar simplicity of a traditional tube setup.

How does the Tubo Road compare to a latex tube in rolling resistance?

TPU offers rolling resistance very close to latex without the air permeation that requires frequent top-ups. You get similar performance benefits without the maintenance overhead.

Can I use the Tubo Road Tube with a 25mm tire?

Yes. The Tubo Road fits tire widths from 18 to 32mm, making it compatible with 23mm, 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm road and all-road tires.

Do I need a special patch kit for the Tubo Road Tube?

Yes. Standard butyl patch adhesive does not bond to TPU. Use the Tubolito Tubo Patch Kit, which is specifically formulated for Tubolito tubes and includes heat-resistant TPU-compatible glue.
