Except WW is not a US site. The majority of WW users are from around Europe. There's no reason that ride feedback should not be available, unless they only ever sold one pair to that guy in the comments of Bike Rumor.
Mark me down as curious as well. They list far more sizes than Tubolito for starters.

it's actually possible to come to the conclusion even before realising it makes no sense at all

Revoloops arrived from Germany a few days ago (http://www.bikecomponents.de did a great job with shipping to the UK).
Not supposed to leak air like latex, and supposedly OK with rim brakes.
First impressions - already - before the first ride tomorrow.
- packaged well, neat slide out cardboard box, more like a jewellery box
- very small physical size - perfect for anyone trying to save space in a tool pack
- they feel stiff, not at all supple like a latex tube
- they do not seem to weigh anything at all, although the scales did say they wieghed something.
More news after tomorrows ride...
Here are the obligatory weight saving scale photos...

OK, have just completed some proper rides with my revoloops. (Stelvio X 2, Mortirolo, Unbrail Pass, Gavia Pass). Fitted on Shamal Mille Ultras with Vittoria Corsa+ graphenes.
Good points.
- I can feel the difference they make. Lighter and more rigid than latex means they feel faster.
- Despite the severe braking tests above, and red hot rims, they never blew out
- No punctures all week
- Very little air leakage, perhaps 0.25 bar per day.
Bad points.
- the composite valve stem needs extra care. If you overtorque the removable valve, you will damage the stem. I got away with it, but you might not.
- They will not however improve your riding as much as a new pair of legs, losing body weight, or eating and drinking sensibly.
My verdict (yours might differ)
- if you have 50 euros plus shipping to spare, well worth trying. These are my new favourites.

How are you getting along with these?
I started another thread on looking for alternatives to latex for road feel. I'm not too fussed about RR but I'd like to keep the feel of latex as much as I can but with more durability and air retention like butyl.
Panaracer R'air were an option, but people seem not to be too thrilled about them.
I'd like to know more about the feel of these tubes on the road, especially on 320tpi tires. Do they also support sealant?
Thanks
