It's funny, really. I am a devoted tubeless rider and will try to convert anyone who will listen. Yet for as long as I have been tubeless, I have carried a tube. Which I believe I have only ever had to reach for once.

For years, I carried a heavy butyl tube in my pocket, to the point where I thought it might be time to stop carrying it altogether. But... I couldn't do it. I like the safety net of having that emergency tube to call on. So, while shunning tubeless for the best TPU inner tubes is a fairly new trend, I have carried one for emergencies for a number of years now.

It has nothing to do with ride quality, rolling resistance or anything complicated; it is all about weight and bulk. TPU inner tubes are generally around a third of the weight, and I don't know if you have ever tried to fold a previously inflated butyl tube, but you never quite get all the air out. This will not come as a surprise, but it just means more space for snacks. Actually, now this reduction has made way for my best electric bike pump. I also still carry one of the best tubeless tyre repair kits, which sees a lot more action.
