I recently purchased and installed a pair of their "touring" tubes in my 
gravel bike. I had been running the tyres on that bike tubeless, but I 
don't ride it all that often, and I found that a) I would get less than 
half a dozen rides in on the bike before I would need to top up the sealant 
because it had mostly evaporated, and b) the infrequent use was causing the 
sealant (Orange Seal) to coagulate at the lowest point of the tyres, making 
them quite unbalanced unless I periodically dismounted them and stripped 
out the solidified pools of sealant.

So far so good with the Tubolito tubes - I haven't ridden them very far, 
but I can't notice a difference (using exactly the same tyres) compared to 
the previous tubeless setup. The tubes are marked as being for tyre sizes 
between 30mm and 47mm - I have them in 38mm tyres. I bought them from a 
local webstore for $A30 each (that's ~$US21), though I notice that bike24 
are selling them for a bit less than €14 ($US16.50) each: 
https://www.bike24.com/p2312527.html. I also bought a specific patch kit 
for them (haven't had to use it so far), though I notice that the review of 
them on bikerumor.com says that the reviewer bunged on a Park pre-glued 
patch when he did get a puncture, and that held up fine for the last 300 
miles of the test period (
