TPU tubes were the future... I thought. Having bought a pair of cheaper TPU tubes, I wasnt too surprised when one of them stopped holding air after only a couple of weeks; so I upgraded an bought a pair of these Vittoria tubes. Initially impressed with the metal and removable valve cores, I was disappointed when both tubes failed within two weeks. One has a minute hole somewhere that (despite patching) refuses to seal, and the other one failed at the seam. At £30 a pop, I'm going back to butyl tubes.
Product Details
Vittoria Ultra Light Speed Inner Tube
Vittoria's Ultra Light Speed inner tubes are made with thermoplastic polyurethane. Besides being completely recyclable, this material offers excellent technical characteristics; it is steady from -47°C up to +100°C. It can be consistently extruded in very thin thicknesses. It has a good elasticity and it is completely airtight, which allows keeping constant air pressure inside for long time. It is resistant to punctures and in case of puncture, the flow of air is slower compared to butyl and latex, which translates to increased safety. In order to reach the incredible 30g lightness and a higher puncture resistance than butyl tubes, Ultra Light Speed are made with the multi-layer co-extrusion technology and are 0,35mm thick. They are extremely thin if compared to butyl inner tubes, which usually are 1mm thick. The welding is performed with high frequency technology.

Do these definitely have a removable valve core so I can add extenders?
Hi there, No they do not, Many thanks Joe W
Hi, can these be inflated using the small CO2 air canisters?
Hi there, Yes they can, Many thanks Joe W
Will these work wit a Lightweight Lightweight Meilensteins. I have found that with some TPU tubes the valve stems are too wide to fit in hole in the rim Many thanks
Hi there, Yes these should work on Lightweight wheels, Many thanks Joe W
