Light 29er tubes?
Moderator: Moderator Team
I have been looking around to see if i can get a couple light 29er tubes to carry on race day as a spare. My current tube is 205 grams which is brutal and can't seem to find a company that makes a light weight one. Anyone know??
Thanks.
Thanks.

Light 26er tube.
A 700 tube would be pretty dang thin in most 2+inch 29er tires.

For certain parts stiffer is more important than lighter.

I use the Continental Tour Light 700c X35 tube (I use CX tires on my 29er). 99gms. No punctures for 2 months till I went tubeless.

Latex cyclocross tube. Michelin or Challenge offer those and they are pretty light.
