Ordinary or light tubes
How does a tube weight affect the sturdiness of a tyre? I have Schwalbe Smart Sam 2.25 tyres with light Impac AV14 tubes (about 120g each). Is there any sense in installing ordinary tubes instead (about 200g each) or will I just increase the weight of my bike?

Hi,
Innertubes have no effect on the sturdiness of the tyre, they
effect the air loss rate and puncture resistance to a degree.
If it is not broken do not fix it seems to apply here.

yup tube is just an Airtight Bladder , separate from the tire ..
If every Gram is a big deal you get the super thin Tubes.
