SPECIALIZED Airlock self sealing tubes
 

Worth the $18 bucks each ?

Tell me. :speedy:

Bump ....

Don't be a doosh ive checked for reviews all morning, there's nothing much.

Be part of the solution rather than the problem.

go buy one and let us know.

at that price, why not just by latex tubes with removable cores and inject some stans?

I checked with my Spesh dealer, the S-WORKS TURBO's i run are very light for race.

Using tewbs with goop would make my tires as heavy as Armadillos which i have already.

Im going to pass.

Why bother with the difficulty of installing latex tubes?

They sound like Slime tubes, which you can buy for less than half the cost of the Specialized.

I used Slime tubes in my mtb before switching to tubeless. They indeed stopped leaks. But, they weighed a ton.

Bwahahahahahaa!! Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

How exactly are latex tubes more difficult to install then a normal tube? I agree they're a bit more finicky, but it's essentially the same process.

I have used them for years, wouldn't ride without them. Used to get a flat about every third ride, was ruining riding for me. Once I switched to airlocks, I can usually ride a whole season on a set. If I didn't weigh so much, I would be more concerned about the weight addition they bring, but the biggest improvement for me would be to lose weight. I can actually hear a leak start, and then hear them seal with the airlock goop.
Try them.
