1) Can you re-use TPU tubes after initial installation? My guess is that you can, since people try to patch them at times. I ask b/c I also have some new tires to install (Pirelli Pzero 4s), but the GP5000s that are on there have some life left.

2) What pressure do you recommend for a 145 lb rider on 25's or 28's? I run 90 on my latex.
You can reuse and patch them. The only thing you do have to be careful is not damaging the valve since they are non replaceable and not inflating them too much when not mounted since they can start to deform

I am 138lbs-140lbs and run them with GP5000 28c at 92 PSI but I like a firm feel
