Bicycling experts talk the simple, low-cost swap that shaves weight and delivers a measurable efficiency boost.
Transcript
00:00We think upgrading to those super aero wheels, the helmet, the skin suit, give you these huge gains,
00:07but really the best bang for your buck gain is something you can't even see.
00:12Yeah, so bike tubes. I don't think about them, don't, previously didn't care about them,
00:18but apparently it's a thing that I need to care about because my old-fashioned rubber tubes that
00:22work just fine apparently are pretty stinking slow and there's a really good way to go faster.
00:26Well, you remember swapping to race tubulars with latex inner tubes in them?
00:31Sure.
00:32Yeah, you remember that feeling, right?
00:34I know.
00:34It's the same thing. Just swapping out that rubber inner tube for a latex or a TPU one just improves
00:42your vibe.
00:44It lowers rolling resistance, improves comfort, it saves weight, and it's stinking cheap compared
00:51to all the other stuff you can do to your bike. It's a measurable performance improvement for
00:5620 to 40 bucks.
