MegaSack Day 10: Win a Tubolito techno tube worth £30!
- Price: £29.99
- From: Tubolito
T! P! U! Thermoplastic polyurethane. Developed in the late fifties as a material to be tough, flexible and durable, it fell to the combined brainpower of a chemist and mechanical engineer to realize that this made it the perfect material to challenge the dominance of butyl based inner tubes. Thus Tubolito came into being.
Lighter weight: Offering up to 80% savings in weight compared to a regular butyl tube, as every cyclist knows, reducing rotating mass is the best place to cut weight on your bike to yield the biggest impact. Less rotating mass means less energy is required to get up to speed. It won’t mean that you will smash your Strava segments but there is something undeniably nice about pushing down hard on the pedals on a steep climb.
Smaller pack size: Place a Tubolito tube beside any butyl based tube and you will immediately see the significant size difference. In this day and age, tubeless has become somewhat ubiquitous in mountain biking but it’s a brave soul who goes out on a big ride without a spare tube. If it’s going to be in your pack or fancy internal frame storage box, why take up valuable space that could be reserved for Jelly Babies?
Stronger: Compared to a butyl tube, depending on which Tubolito tube you use, they offer up to three times the strength.
Orange! Their signature bright orange colourway.
The one we have up for grabs is the S–Tubo: the one for the racer. Designed as the lightest, most compact tubes with the lowest rolling resistance, these disc only tubes are the top of the tree when it comes to performance; the road version weighing a mere 23 grams and rolling up to the diameter of a £2 coin.
