Vittoria Open Pavè 27mm
Moderator: robbosmans
Got myself a pair of 27mm Pavè clinchers, now wondering which (butyl) tubes would go with them. I'm a Conti guy, but their road tubes only go to 25mm per spec, their tour line starts at 28mm. Got spare supersonic tubes also, too risky?
They will be used in bad weather a lot, so I'll probably better be safe than sorry. Not looking forward to fixing flats in the pouring rain.

Michelin Latex works for me

Vittoria makes a tube in both latex and butyl called the Ultralite that runs from 25mm to 28mm.
The weight was also completitive as I recall.

Ditto.
Michelin latex may not be the lightest, or most supple, but they seem more robust. I'm running them with 24mm Pavé

Mounted them today, with the 28mm Conti tubes. They measure a hair under 27mm on Open Pro rims when inflated (Exactly the same width as the 28mm spec'd Conti GP 4 Seasons). Looking forward to ride them.

This is sort of unrelated, but can you measure their actual width when mounted and pumped up? I'm wondering if they will clear my scott cr1 (pre addict) frame.
I wouldn't worry too much about matching the tubes up exactly. You can go a size smaller without consequences I think.

Russian: just under 27mm on Open Pro rims (3 posts up).

Correct. In a pinch I ran 19/23 tubes in a 35mm CX tire with no issues. Running 25's in a 28 seems like it would be the WW norm!
