Anyone tested CO2 with this tube yet ? any side effect? i understand CO2 with a regular butyl tube will cause a slow leak.

I messaged RideNow Store on Facebook about a month ago and they were not available yet.
You might try messaging them again. Please let me know if they are available somewhere. Would be nice to save some weight on the gravel bike.
As always with CO2, it goes in very cold. It can freeze the tube which can crack and leak when it exands as you fill. Always a greater risk with very thin tubes. I always go slow at first and occasionally pause to allow the tube to warm up. Prefer a pump for this reason.ongbenghui wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 10:09 amAnyone tested CO2 with this tube yet ? any side effect? i understand CO2 with a regular butyl tube will cause a slow leak.

Im tempted to give these a try but it seems many bought it as a spare as it save a lot of space.
What's the riding review for those who were able to put some kms in?

About 500k in and all good.
Feel great, don't lose air, and sound great - which I wasn't expecting.

I've been switching back and forth between these and latex tubes and I'd say I think I can notice a difference in favour of latex, but I'd bet that if you did a blind test I wouldn't be able to tell. Certainly roll better than butyl. And I've had zero issues.

The patch kit actually works, but you have to follow the instructions. I had to mark the hole with a sharpie then just cleaned the area with alcohol wipes. Apply glue let it get tacky for a minute(more than that the glue dries out and patch won't stick) before sticking the patch then cure it for 30 minutes. Looks messy because my first time.
I ordered one from allcycling store on aliexpress, but they never shipped it and gave me a fake tracking number. Aliexpress refunded me no problem, but still frustrating.RimClencher wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 12:37 pmI messaged RideNow Store on Facebook about a month ago and they were not available yet.

They also had pretty decent reviewsBfriesen wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 5:55 pmI ordered one from allcycling store on aliexpress, but they never shipped it and gave me a fake tracking number.

I had a similar issue with another store, they cancelled my order but still had Shipped as the status. I am still persuing this with AliExpress.Bfriesen wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 5:55 pmI ordered one from allcycling store on aliexpress, but they never shipped it and gave me a fake tracking number.

I reordered through allcycling store.
For those interested in the gravel size RideNow tubes, this store now has them and I got them to create a bundle option with repair kit as I need one for the road tubes I have. Haven't received it yet, just ordered FYI

I've just had the same issue. The store sent the package but the courier will not ship it due to the glue.mikemelbrooks wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 9:53 amI had a similar issue with another store, they cancelled my order but still had Shipped as the status.

The courier return it to the seller but it takes a while. They only know delivery has failed when it arrives back at their office which can take weeks.
Not a great situation, but also not the fault of the seller.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered as well. I'm only planning on using these for gravel so will try my luck with normal self-adhesive patches.Hazzer19 wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 11:41 pmFor those interested in the gravel size RideNow tubes, this store now has them and I got them to create a bundle option with repair kit as I need one for the road tubes I have.
