The issue is the heat. Simply put, it can be dangerous.zinedrei wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 3:15 amif the description says "not suitable for rim brakes", then it's not a reliability issue at all.RocketRacing wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 2:37 amWho knows, but the s-tubo road (that performs close to latex, better at low pressures if you trust the data) is advised for disc brake only. Tubolito states: “.Specifically made for disc brakes (not suitable for rim brakes).” In my mind suggesting the product does not like heat.zinedrei wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 2:25 amis there a reliability issue for the superlight version?RocketRacing wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 2:20 amMy issue is one of reliability of the superlight version... especially related to rim brake generated heat.
if there is, is it only for those used bikes with rim brakes?
The regular version is still pretty light, but vs latex, the inferior crr in the realm of 4-5w is just a no go if overally performance is your goal (and it is for me).
They would be great for instagram weight weenie bikes however, and make a solid spare. My spare is the lightest of all... my cellphone, as life limits my ability to go that far from home. And for the few rides i do requiring a spare, i take latex so when i swap, i can just leave it in until the next replacement. I am going to test some superlight challenge latex tubes however. But i suspect they will be another “too close to the sun” option.
it just means that it's not designed and made for rim brakes
same as a normal road bike that says "not suitable for jumps over 1 meter", it doesn't mean that there's a reliability issue or a disc brake specific rim and then used on a rim brake bike
it will be a reliability issue if there is significantly more punctures compared to other tube types when used according to manufacturers specifications

You should also know that all hollow carbon rims deflect as you apply brakes. This is not an issue with disc brakes

If the wheel is on fire, i don't think any tube will survive.
I've been using Supersonics for the past year and have had only one flat, but that was more due to riding on a too worn tire than it was the fault of the tube.chupster98 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:54 pmJust received the Conti Supersonics.
Here’s how they compare to regular Conti Race & Tubolito’s.
All measured as 42mm stem & w. Valve cap
