FAQs

What is the primary advantage of TPU tubes?

The main advantages of TPU tubes are reduced weight and lower rolling resistance compared to traditional butyl tubes.

Are these tubes compatible with tubeless setups?

No, these are inner tubes and not designed for tubeless setups.

What tire sizes are these tubes compatible with?

The 700 x 24-43mm tubes are compatible with tires of that size range, while the 700 x 44-64mm are compatible with tires of that size range.

How do I prevent heat buildup when inflating?

Inflate in small increments (around 15 PSI) if using an electric pump to allow for heat dissipation. Check pressure after each increment.

What type of valve does the Silca Ultimate TPU Tube use?

The tube uses a Presta valve with a threaded aluminum design.

Can I use sealant with these tubes?

It is not recommended to use sealant with these tubes as it may damage the TPU material.

What is included with the tube?

The tube comes with an adhesive patch and an alcohol prep wipe for emergency repairs.

What is the warranty on the Silca Ultimate TPU Tube?

Troubleshooting

Tube fails to hold air.

Check the tire and tube for punctures. Use the included patch kit to repair small holes. Ensure the valve is properly seated and tightened.

Difficulty inflating the tire.

Ensure the valve core is properly tightened. Use a pump that is compatible with Presta valves. Lubricate the valve stem if necessary.

Valve stem is too short for the rim.

Use a valve extender compatible with the Presta valve. Ensure the extender is securely attached.
