Maxxis Flyweight MTB Tube Reviews

Description: (from maxxis.com)
0.45mm thin butyl tubes. Speed is increased because rotational weight is decreased. Flyweight tubes are packaged with a unique cloth rim strip to be used only with flyweight tubes.

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by GoldenGoose   on August 31, 2009   Pros 95g per tube. Great way to knock off some serious rolling weight for your lightweight wheelset. Cons The presta valve can be a bit flimsy. To be fair though, I wasn't paying attention when I hooked up the pump so it's probably a user error rather than a design flaw. Just pay attention and you will be fine. Verdict A GREAT light weight tube for XC riding. Not recommended for heavy riders or people those who like to do rough terrain. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by element22   on August 29, 2009   Pros Lightweight and holds air well Cons Still will flat if not careful Verdict Great light weight tube. Just a bit more weight than the amount you need of stan`s for a tubeless setup Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by guest on August 29, 2009   Pros Super light and holds air well compared to latex tube Cons Still have to be careful not to hit to hard of an edge they will still puncture Verdict A great tube for any XC rider who wants to save weight and not go into a tubeless setup Recommended for: Experienced XC riders
