Cycling enthusiasts, are you looking for the best choice of cycling inner tubes? After two months of practical use, I've summarized some experiences to help you make an informed choice.
First, if your cycling speed doesn't reach 30-35 km/h, then regular economy rubber inner tubes are sufficient. Ultralight TPU inner tubes, while lightweight, are more suitable as spare tires. This is because they require more frequent inflation, basically every three days, while regular inner tubes only need inflation once a week.
The advantage of regular inner tubes lies in their durability, while ultralight inner tubes are more suitable for situations requiring quick folding and transport. If you frequently need a spare tire in your car, then ultralight inner tubes are undoubtedly a good choice.
However, ultralight inner tubes also have their disadvantages. They require higher tire pressure for road bikes, necessitating frequent checks and adjustments. Furthermore, they leak air more quickly, which may affect your riding experience.
In general, the choice of inner tube depends on your riding needs and budget. If you prioritize portability and lightness, then ultralight inner tubes are a good choice; however, if you value durability and economy more, regular inner tubes are more suitable.
