Reviews over the

Schwalbe Aerothan MTB

I have been riding Aerothan tyres and their predecessors (EVO tubes made from Aerothan) for years. These newer Aerothan tyres are super lightweight (92 g for 29 inches instead of the specified 87 g). You can also ride with low pressure due to their shape retention and these tubes have low rolling resistance. In short, the best alternative to tubeless. Only disadvantage is that after 2-3 years or so, the inner valve comes out of the shaft and the valve is no longer reliable (leaks slightly). The tyre then needs replacing.

Pros & Cons

Rides very pleasantly

Pros & Cons

I am glad that this article with its positive properties is on the market.

This inner tube is really tremendously light. Cycling experience is good.

Pros & Cons

The weight is great. But I had a slow puncture after the first 5 kilometres. A thorn pierced through the tyre and the inner tube. The inner tube can only be repaired with special patches. For the price, two patches could be included.

Tricky to fit because they are smaller than the outer tyre. The job is similar to a 26" latex and a 29" outer tyre. As for longevity, I've only just started using them. So I don't know that yet.
