TPU tubes for #cycling - Yay or Nay? Sources?Anyone using TPU tubes? Would you recommend them?I note online Chinese vendors (Temu/Ali) are about half the price of my local bike store for them. Anyone have experience with purchasing/brands for Chinese TPU tubes?#bicycle #bicycling #BikeTooter @bicycling

@Pionir @pete @wav3ydave @adamrice @MrAndrewD @bicycling They, apparently, got a huge can of sealant meant for cars and shot that into the valve.Likely a liter+ in total. The butyl tube had a 6cm tear so the tire was basically completely filled with sealant.It didn’t work.
