I had a supply of Michelin Air Comp Ultra Light tubes but that’s running low. I do tend to patch my tubes so they last a really long time in my world. I’ve got a large supply of Rema dime-sized patches and the good cement. The reason I liked the Michelins is that they don’t have a threaded valve stem, making it easier on my pump head.
In the stack downstairs in my shop are also a couple Continental light tubes and recently I added a few Schwalbes from Rene Herse. The ones I got are like 65 grams and claim to be good only for a maximum rim width of 19mm. I’ll take my chances as I’ve found that tubes will stretch a lot. That said, I run 25s and you’ve got 28s. The one set of 28s I have I think I’ve got a slightly larger tube.
If you can get the Air Comp Ultra Lights from Michelin they’re probably my favorites.
