Shaving weight... best tubes
I've decided that my tires are too heavy, so I'm going to ride without them. What are the best tubes for skidding?

Airless tubes, found in the toy sections of x-marts everywhere.

I hear Veloflex Record tires are basically like riding on the tube alone.
But, I agree with the poster above me.

Hutchinson makes a road tubeless system that works with some of the Shimano rims.
Personally. I'd just ride tire liners glued to tubie rims.

Just take off your wheels and get a toptube bad sewn into your crotch of your shorts, you can run everywhere like those horses on a stick.
