Lightweight Meilenstein + TPU Tubes
Got a set of Meilenstein C24E and realized that the TPU tubes (Barbieri NXT) I migrated from my old wheels dont fit the LW rim valve.
Has any of you found a brand of TPU tubes which fit the LW wheels valve channel? Thanks! |

Had the same issue. Cyclami. No rubber coating around stem. Also I found them to be the best TPU.

Thank you for the Cyclami tubes link, they do look good. It seems their valve stems are grooved metal unlike the plastic ones on most TPU tubes. Is this correct? Would be nice as the plastic ones are a hassle with my floor pump. And could these be used without rim tape, specifically with Campy Bora/Shamal clincher rims that don't require rim tape?

You welcome! Glad it worked out and that is what this place is all about.
I have found the "plastic" valves deform and slowly leak air over time or fail where they join the tube. The Cyclami ones have never failed me yet.... Knock on wood. |
