Continental TPU Tube

No, these TPU tubes are strictly designed for disc-brake setups. The heat generated by rim brakes can damage the thermoplastic polyurethane material, potentially leading to failure.

TPU tubes are significantly lighter and more compact than traditional butyl rubber tubes, which helps reduce rotating weight and makes them easier to pack as a spare. They also offer lower rolling resistance, which can contribute to a faster ride.

Yes, the valve stems feature internal threading, making them compatible with valve extensions. Additionally, the valve cores are removable if you need to add sealant or use a specific type of pump head.

Yes, TPU requires more care during installation than standard tubes. Ensure the tube is not pinched between the tire bead and the rim, and avoid inflating the tube outside of the tire beyond 0.5 bar, as it can deform permanently.

Each tube comes with a dedicated repair kit specifically formulated for TPU material. It is essential to use this kit rather than standard rubber patches, as the adhesive and patch material are designed to bond correctly with the TPU structure.
