Aerothan are plastic as well; dunno of Tubolito is patchable with self-adhesive patches like Aerothan is, though.
Anyway, I’ve been using Aerothan for a short while now, having bailed out on successfully running Herse Bon Jon Extralight tubeless. What I can say is that while they are light, feel fine and have been trouble-free, they’re not as nice feeling as rollin’ that rubber tubeless. It’s a small thing, though, and it does not occupy my thoughts while riding, but it was noticeable when I made the switch.
It’s hard to assess the value of Aerothan outside of weight savings— in my 700x35c size, they weigh a mere 52— so it’s more a matter of faith that they’re more puncture resistant and have lower Crr than butyl, but I’m good with that.
Oh, they hold pressure well, too; better than latex, and more like butyl.
