The reviewer tests the MEROCA TPU inner tube, noting its extremely low price compared to typical TPU tubes. They conduct pressure retention and puncture resistance tests, finding it performs surprisingly well.
AI Summary
Pros
- Extremely cheap (costs just 10% of typical TPU tube prices)
- Better pressure retention than expected (lost less pressure over a week than some other TPU tubes)
- No issues with fitting the tube
- Valve held strong despite being plastic
- Performed well in puncture tests over glass and hardware, showing resilience
Cons
- TPU tubes in general have a reputation for losing pressure quickly
- Potential risk of melting the plastic valve if using an electric pump
Key Points
- TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane
- Super light inner tubes
- Claimed to puncture less and ride nicer than standard butyl tubes
- The tested tube cost significantly less than most standard butyl tubes
- Pressure test: After one week, the butyl tube dropped from 70 PSI to ~58 PSI, the MEROCA TPU dropped to ~49 PSI
