  • I use 36gram ones (ridenow from aliexpress) and they’re surprisingly great and very cheap. I now carry four replacements when randonneuring and it’s still only the weight of one butyl tube. Also, they’ve become better in the last year between two times I’ve ordered them - the valve used to be plastic, now it’s metal; and they added two rubber washers to fill in the space below the valve, which is nice since that’s where they used to stretch and balloon in the space. I use them with a road bike, 700c*25 They do lose air a bit faster than butyl, I’d say about 1 bar a week, regardless if ridden or standing.

    edit: haven’t tried lighter ones than 36gr. since a friend who did reported they tend to stretch too thin in places when re-pumping 4-5 times.




  • I would still like to see an explanation of why it is bad. Regardless of who will provide that explanation :)

    Because they have Occulus’ locked up in their basement and gimmick du jour is worse, now instead of just having a headset where you have to use their account and see ads for their shitty corpo vr chat every time you login you’ll have a mandatory llm paperclip learning your habits and shilling 24/7
