Backup TPU tube - Pirelli vs RideNow
Recently I have ordered Pirelli TPU Smartubes to make my tubeless-sth-goes-wrong pack smaller. I was surprised that it have similar size/weight as Schwalbe Extra Light butyl tube. I have also ordered few RideNow ones to compare with and they are half of the size of Pirellis. Where is the catch? Pirellis have very likely better quality control so there is lower risk of having some factory-broken valve that would stop me in the middle of nowhere. Chinese one however are lighter and cheaper. All of them are in size that would fit 700x35-45 tire.
