TPU tubes are less than half the size of a traditional butyl tube so you can carry two tubes instead of one in your pack, or save 200+g in your tires by replacing the butyl tubes with TPU.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTPU tubes have long been a favorite of ours to keep for spares in your saddle bag because of how little space they take up in the bag. This allows you to carry two tubes when only one would previously have fit. The issue has long been that the plastic valves were susceptible to detaching from the tube itself, the valve cores were often pressed into plastic causing leaking issues, and the sleeve joint where the tube was joined would often fail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHaving a spare tube doesn't do you much good if when you go to use it, it falls apart. SILCA set out to change that. Our TPU tubes have a patented technology to mechanically attach the valve to the tube itself and a welded joint to stop failures in their tracks. We have also used a threaded aluminum valve to help the tube resist heat from electric pumps and included a valve nut for the ultimate in a rattle-free and secure design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTPU materials have made big strides over the last few years and have all but matched the rolling resistance efficiencies of Latex tubes or a Tubeless set up at a fraction of the weight of latex. Our 700C tubes range from 45-62g keeping weight at an all time low while reducing rolling resistance and their tiny size for packing efficiency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor 700C Wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e24-43mm (50mm valve) 38mm x 77mm x 24mm folded. 45g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e24-43mm (70mm valve) 39mm x 95mm x 21mm folded. 46g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e44-64mm (50mm valve) 58mm x 77mm x 26mm folded. 62g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThreaded aluminum valve\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRemovable Valve Core\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRim and Disc Brake Compatible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePatch and alcohol wipe included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLow rolling resistance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLess than half the size and weight of a butyl tube\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePatented valve and tube attachment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/silca.cc\/products\/tpu-tubes\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVIEW MORE INFO ON WWW.SILCA.CC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"24-34MM \/ 50MM","offer_id":47928784879777,"sku":"TU.AM-AC-065-ASY-0100","price":1245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"24-34MM \/ 70MM","offer_id":47928784912545,"sku":"TU.AM-AC-065-ASY-0200","price":1245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"44-64MM \/ 50MM","offer_id":47928784945313,"sku":"TU.AM-AC-065-ASY-0300","price":1245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/0106\/7395\/files\/UltimateTPUTube_01.png?v=1790339010","url":"https:\/\/eastcitycycles.com\/products\/silca-ultimate-tpu-tubes","provider":"East City Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
