However, they encountered performance issues, with both tubes developing slow leaks after relatively short distances (200 km for the first and 300 km for the second).

AI-Summary
The reviewer discusses TPU tubes from AliExpress in general, not the specific RideNow TPU Bike Inner Tube model. They state that TPU tubes are the lightest, strongest, and most packable insurance policy for flats, even with tubeless setups. They found a deal for two tubes, tire levers, and a patch kit for $12, which is significantly cheaper than brand-name alternatives like Pirelli. The tubes are available in various sizes for road, gravel, and mountain biking and are small enough to be left in a repair kit indefinitely.
