Re: [RBW] TPU inner tubes - Anyone using them?

[Brian Turner]

Steve, are you using them on your Riv or another bike? I was under the impression that TPU tubes were recommended for disc brakes only - I assume due to the heat generated by rim brakes? I’m curious about them, but don’t really have the right application for them in my stable.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easily they mounted up with just enough inflation to plump them a bit. Easier than any butyl tubes I've ever used. Today I took the bike out on my usual graveled forest service road route, bleeding the front end down from 27 to 25 psi about 1/2 into the ride  My first impression is that they  compare favorably to the ride feel of a tubeless setup.  Before I sip the kool aid and start buying more of these things - given the cost - I'm wondering if anyone has had long term experience with them (not necessarily the WTB version).   Any punctures, did they patch satisfactorily? Longevity? Your impressions of the quality?  I'll add that they dropped about 200 grams of ugly fat from the wheels - but that wasn't my main objective.
