FAQs

Can I use tire levers to install the Tubolito tube?

It is highly recommended to avoid tire levers. If they must be used, do so with extreme caution to avoid pinching or puncturing the TPU material.

Is this tube compatible with tubeless sealants?

No, this tube is not designed for use with tire sealants and should be used dry.

Can I use this tube with rim brakes?

No, Tubolito tubes are not suitable for rims that use brakes, as the heat generated during braking can cause the tube to fail.

How should I store these tubes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to maintain the integrity of the material.

Will this fit a 2.6-inch wide tire?

This model is rated for 1.8 to 2.5-inch widths; we recommend using the appropriately sized tube for tires wider than 2.5 inches.

Troubleshooting

Tube punctured during installation

Ensure that the tire casing is completely clear of thorns or debris before re-seating the tire. Always check that no part of the tube is pinched between the tire bead and the rim wall.

Air leakage around the valve stem

Verify that the valve core is tightened securely and ensure the valve nut is properly seated against the rim to prevent movement during riding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight compared to butyl alternatives
  • Space-saving profile for emergency trail kits
  • Proven puncture resistance
  • Retains natural ride feel

  • Requires careful installation to avoid pinching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Tubolito MTB tube requires attention to detail. Before installing, ensure the inside of your tire is free of debris or thorns. It is recommended to inflate the tube with just enough air to give it shape before placing it inside the tire. Avoid using tire levers if possible to prevent accidental nicks to the TPU material.

This tube is compatible with 27.5" and 29" wheels ranging from 1.8" to 2.5" wide. It is strictly for use with disc brake setups and should not be used on rims where braking heat can reach the tube. Always ensure your rim tape is clean and covers all spoke holes properly, as the lighter material is sensitive to sharp metallic edges.
