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 ( https://bikerumor.com/2018/05/10/trail-tested-tubolito-tubo-lightest-strongest-fastest-inner-tube-century/ ).
