Escapa presents theTubolito Foldingbike 20 Schrader 40mm Inner Tube, which reduces the weight and space taken up by a spare inner tube while providing greater protection against punctures and a lighter, more efficient riding experience—ideal for urban and touring cycling.
Features:
- Valve: 40mm Schrader (AV) valve. The Schrader valve is a wider valve type, common on city and mountain bikes, and 40mm is a suitable length for most 20-inch tires.
- Material: Made from a high-tech thermoplastic elastomer (TPU). This material is the foundation of its unique properties and represents a major advancement over traditional rubber.
- Tire Compatibility: Compatible with a versatile range of 20-inch tire widths. It generally covers sizes from 20 x 1.10" to 20 x 2.50" (or ETRTO 30-406 to 47-406, and some ranges such as 1.2"–1.8"), making it suitable for various folding bike configurations.
- Key Benefits:
- Ultra-lightweight: It is significantly lighter than equivalent butyl tubes (between 60% and 70% lighter). This reduces the rotational weight of the wheels, improving the bike’s acceleration and agility. The typical weight is approximately 43g to 53g.
- Compact: Its material and design allow it to fold down to a much smaller size than butyl tubes, taking up minimal space. This is ideal for transport on folding bikes, where every centimeter counts.
- Puncture Resistance: It offers superior puncture resistance, being up to two or three times more durable than standard butyl tubes, which increases reliability on your daily rides.
- Low Rolling Resistance: The thermoplastic material and seamless construction contribute to lower rolling resistance, resulting in more efficient pedaling.
