Escapa presents theTubolito BMX Tube 22/24 Schrader 40mm, an innovative inner tube for BMX bikes, compatible with 22- and 24-inch wheels thanks to its elastic thermoplastic material. It is significantly lighter and more compact than butyl inner tubes, while also offering superior puncture resistance, making it a versatile, high-performance solution.
Features:
- Valve: 40mm Schrader (AV) valve. The Schrader valve, also known as an American or car valve, is wider and common on many BMX bikes, making it easier to inflate with a wide variety of pumps.
- Material: Made from a high-tech thermoplastic elastomer (TPU). This material is the key to its light weight, durability, compactness, and—crucially—its high elasticity, which allows it to adapt to different diameters.
- Tire Compatibility: Thanks to its elasticity, it is compatible with a wide range of tire widths for both wheel sizes—for example, from 22x1.75" to 24x2.50" (or equivalent ETRTO ranges, confirming its versatility)—meeting the needs of most BMX bikes.
Advantages:
- Dual-Size Versatility: Its main appeal is its ability to fit both 22" and 24" tires, making it incredibly practical as a universal spare or for riders with multiple BMX bikes.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Although it is the standard “Tube” version (not “S-Tube”), it is still significantly lighter than equivalent butyl tubes (often up to 60–70% lighter), which helps reduce rotational weight and improve agility.
- Compact: Its material allows it to fold down to a much smaller size than butyl tubes, taking up less space and making it very easy to carry.
- Puncture Resistance: It offers greater puncture resistance than standard butyl tubes, making it more robust against punctures.
- Low Rolling Resistance: The thermoplastic material and optimized construction contribute to lower rolling resistance.
