Anybody use them? They are 105g which is pretty light.

you can shave your head and drop 105 grams, so, running these tubes with a bald head when be like running no tubes at all!

Yes, that would be a grand idea if the weight of my hair contributed to the front of the bike...

I've tried lightweight tubes and was never too impressed. I also tried running regular tubes, but for much smaller tires. I can't remember the difference in weight savings but it was similar. I preferred the regular tubes in a smaller size, but not enough to still do it.

[WhiteRavenKS]

if you like more flats then they are great.

[DGrabiec]

You can always just try it since it really only costs a few extra bucks than a normal tube, you might just end up loving it.

how can you love the feel of a tube? from a bicycle standpoint that is......

I run one on the front and only ever pinch flatted it once or twice in the last year. On the back, it pinch flats too easy, 200g tube is light as I'd go for a rear.

Normal 1.25" or whatever tubes haven't been a problem, but I can count the times I rode last year with my hands. You might or might not notice the difference, good chance it's all in your head. I got used to buying those tubes, so I keep doing it.

Yeah, I mainly want to run one on the front, as I don't even remember the last time I pinched the front.

I think I pinched one of these on the front when running a mich DH 2.2. Came up short on a gap to front on a sharp rock, but it wasn't THAT bad.

I've tried light weight tubes before, and they just arent any good for taps.

[perkins]

I have used these tubes for years on my front wheel... taps and all... with no problems at all. I guess it all depends on what psi you run...

[DanBowhers]

i just drill holes in my tubes to make them lighter

[MIKE1968]

Works for my dick too.

[Jébegood]

some of us are using these light inner tubes since a month... in the front wheel but also in the rear and it works perfectly... you lost hundred grams for each wheel... and you can feel it immediately for the front wheel !
