This specific model is optimized for Brompton folding bikes with 16-inch wheels and tire sizes 11/8 to 13/8. While it might fit other 16-inch rims, it's crucial to verify tire and rim compatibility to ensure a proper fit and performance.
The Tubolito Tubo Folding Bike tube weighs approximately 34 grams, which is about 59% lighter than a typical butyl inner tube for folding bikes.
The type of brake system does not affect the compatibility of the inner tube itself. This tube is compatible with both disc and rim brake systems, provided the wheel and tire dimensions are correct.
Yes, in puncture tests, this tube is rated as twice as robust as standard tubes, offering significantly better resistance to punctures.
Due to its compact size, it can be easily stored in a small saddlebag, backpack pocket, or even a jacket pocket. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The recommended tire pressure is determined by the tire manufacturer, not the inner tube. Always refer to the pressure range indicated on the sidewall of your bicycle tire.
Tubolito tubes are not designed to be patched. If the tube is punctured, it is recommended to replace it.
Ensure the valve core is tightened and that there are no obstructions. Check that the tube is not pinched between the tire bead and the rim.
Carefully inspect the tube and tire for small punctures or tears. Check the rim for any sharp edges or debris that may have caused the leak. Ensure the tire is seated correctly.
Partially inflate the tube to give it shape, which can make it easier to seat. Ensure you are not trying to force it; patience is key with lightweight tubes. Double-check that the tube is the correct size for the tire.
Compatibility: This inner tube is specifically designed for Brompton folding bikes and fits tire sizes 16 x 11/8-13/8. Always verify your tire's sidewall to confirm compatibility before purchase.
