The Schwalbe Aerothan Inner Tube is designed for cyclists seeking a lightweight, durable, and high-performance solution for their road, MTB, touring, or urban bikes. Its key benefit is the combination of minimal weight and exceptional puncture resistance, leading to a faster, more reliable ride. A potential consideration is its specialized material, which may require specific handling during installation compared to traditional butyl tubes.

The Aerothan tube is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is significantly lighter, offers better puncture resistance, and has lower rolling resistance compared to traditional butyl rubber.
Schwalbe does not recommend repairing Aerothan tubes with standard patches, as the material properties require specific adhesives. Replacement is generally advised for punctures.
The 40mm valve is typically suitable for most rims, including those used with rim brakes. For deeper rims, longer valves (60mm, 80mm, 100mm) are available.
Yes, the Aerothan tube is compatible with tubeless-ready rims. Ensure your rim tape is intact and properly sealed for optimal performance.
The aluminium shaft provides greater stability, preventing the valve from bending or getting damaged during installation and use. The external thread also aids in secure handling.
Yes, it's recommended to inflate the tube slightly before installation to give it shape and prevent twisting. Be cautious when using tire levers to avoid pinching the tube, as TPU is more susceptible to damage than butyl.
It is ideal for performance-oriented cycling, including road racing, competitive MTB, fast touring, and spirited urban riding, where weight savings and puncture resistance are prioritized.
Ensure the valve core is properly seated and the pump head is securely attached to the valve. Check for any obstructions in the valve.
Double-check the tire seating for any leaks, inspect the rim tape for damage, and ensure the tube was not pinched during tire installation. Re-inflate and listen for leaks.
Deflate the tube completely. Ensure the tire beads are sitting correctly in the rim's drop center. Sometimes, a tire lever can pinch a TPU tube; use caution or try to lever the last section on by hand if possible.
