Light tube recommendation for Bora WTO 45's?

[shinomaster]

So I am going to run them with clinches with inner tubes for a while as that's my comfort zone and the idea of messing with sealant seem abhorrent to me. What valve length is ideal for these rims and who makes good reliable tubes? I find lately some valves live Vittora seem to leak. What are some good options for 28mm Michelins. Thanks!

Probably something like these Schwalbes

TPUs from aliexpress or temu, 60mm

2800 miles so far on 38 gram Cyclami TPU tubes so far no issues, around 1500 on another bike again no issues.

Not as light as the TPU tubes, but I've long had success with the Conti Race Light butyl tubes. 60mm valve stems should be ideal for Bora 45s. 76 grams

This......especially for rim brakes.

All I know is that whatever your choice be very careful mounting your tires. The WTO 45 were by far the hardest wheels to mount tires on for me. I pinch flatted 2 tubes before I finally got everything together. Lots of soapy water and rolling with a towel ended up doing the trick.

I’m in the same boat: I have a set of Campy Bora 45’s and I didn’t want to mess with sealant. I’ve been using TPU tubes from Wheelscience for the past year and love them. They roll well, are light, and seem very flat-resistant, to the point that I put them in wheels for my daily commuter as well as my regular road bike. I think I’m using the 65mm stem in my Bora 45’s.

I've always had good luck with the Vittoria Latex tubes. The valve core is removable. So if they seem to leak at first just back out and retighten the core. I did have a new one years and years ago where the little O-ring on the core was messed up.

+1 for Aliexpress Ridenow TPU. Make sure to get the ones with the clear-ish valve body.

i'm never using anything other than these from now on

don't bother with the supplied patches. the Park Tool self-adhesive patches have been flawless

I may just try these. 24g vs 36g option? I can't say I understand the pricing though. 1 unit is $.99, and if you buy 2-, 4-, or 6-packs, the unit price goes up incrementally where a 6-pack eventually costs ~$4/tube ?? What am I missing here... Seems too good to be true -- how can you sell a tube for $.99 (and the page says free shipping)?

Have been riding the RideNow tubes for the last 6 weeks or so. Flawless. Only comment to the discussion is I have been ordering the ones with the metal valves - I haven't had great experience with the plastic valves. I have also recently moved to one of the battery mini pumps and they can generate some heat which is harder on the plastic valves.
