MilKit introduces innovative blue TPU tubes designed for tubeless setups, providing double the puncture resistance of traditional butyl tubes. Ideal for cyclists who occasionally need a backup plan, the TPU tubes withstand 32Nm of force from sharp objects, significantly outperforming their butyl counterparts, which fail at just 15Nm. This enhanced durability is especially beneficial for riders using lighter tire casings. MilKit emphasizes simplicity in their design, ensuring these tubes serve as a reliable emergency solution while enhancing the overall riding experience.
Situations like this are why milKit - a tubeless sealant brand - is now offering TPU tubes that pack down to a minuscule volume, yet promise twice the puncture resistance of normal butyl rubber tubes.
MilKit testing shows that the TPU tubes can withstand 32Nm of force before being penetrated by common sharp objects... Standard butyl tubes, on the other hand, can be pierced by those same sharp objects at just 15Nm.
Generally speaking, the reinforcement & overall durability of your tire casing is more of a determining factor in whether you get a puncture riding over a specific object or not.
MilKit wanted to keep it simple with their new blue TPU tube offering, as they do talk about making it a reliable backup option for tubeless riders.
