Just Google "TPU inner tubes" and you'll see lots of them. They are "the
new thing" on the market in the way of very light weight and very compact
tubes. They span a bewildering price range. People claim they can get
them on Ali Express for under $1, and they go all the way up to >$30 ea
Ted,
Sorry to be the person to ask this, but what is TPU, and were are you so
unhappy with it?
The latex tubes sound nice, when I first changed for Jan's tire
recommendations/designs back in 2008ish, it was transformational, so if
this is further that much transformational, I might have to try it
My experience with latex tubes mirror Ted's.
I have been riding them on the Rene Herse extra endurance barlow pass and bond

New thread jumping off my not-so-happy experience with TPU. For fun and
science I ordered a few Vittoria latex tubes in the 622 x 30-38 size, which
I put in the 622-32 Rene Herse extra light tires on my Rivendell Road. The
tires are new this year, with 500 miles on them when I installed the tube
