Fun to try, but you never know which ride is the last one.
They are fast, which really makes your ride that much more enjoyable, but they are also not very durable. You do feel extra cautious when these are on. I had a flat within the first 500k. For me, the performance gain is not worth it. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm going back to butyle.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Structural failure
I managed to get a flat on a ramp just by putting too much weight on the rear wheel. The tube just didn't hold air anymore, and I got a rapid pressure loss. I guess if you are careful not to stress the tube too much it won't happen to you. But it can be a bump or a pothole that causes this, which is something that won't happen to a classic tube. Better carry on wheel extra 70-80gr rather than pay 5-6 times more for a bit of weight advantage with this kind of risk.
