dezmtber Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 We just had theses 26" x 2.25-2.6 Eclipse tubes in for a local dh racer. I have weighed them in against the maxxis dh tubes You save just short of 400 grames that's a lot to save and they quote less puntures ? Though they do cost £45 per tube and £12 for the special repair kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Saw these on the dirt website a month or so ago, they're made of a plastic i think? http://dirt.mpora.com/featured/fresh-produce-eclipse-inner-tubes.html http://www.eclipse.ch/new/Tubes.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 With DK I have no problem using 130g tubes which cost 6pounds...So no, not worth it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I punctured one on my first ride, did catch it on an edge mind so I'm no overly surprised, but they are pretty dam light. Just don't buy them for their puncture resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 trials riders have their bikes at sub 10kg in the most cases,why is there need for ultralight tubes? we dont even have to deal with rotating mass at that speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I dont really get punctured in the front wheel I may put one up front. I dont really get punctured in the front wheel I may put one up front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsRob Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I would certaintly not trust their evidence on improved puncture resistance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd love to try some now that my riding is smoother but not for £45, i'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
