Why would latex tubes explode?
I've seen this on a friends (disc-brake) bike and we never knew why it happened.

Why would latex tubes explode?
TPU is safe for rim brake with carbon wheels?mario27 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 4:57 pmclincher tyre is almost as fast as the s tr, ( it doesn't matter tho because with wrong pressure you will lose more watts than the difference between these tyres ),but more durable and has more thread that will last more kilometers. I wouldn't use latex if I was riding rim brake bike with carbon rims though ( I have seen the rim explode from a latex tube explosion)sultanbrunei wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 1:03 pmGP5000 S-TR vs GP5000 clincher
Which one is faster?
Rolling resistance data is better on the new S-TR, however it is 250gram plus 30-40ml sealant, with a total of 290 grams.
The old GP5000 clincher with a 2 watts less RR (according to aeroCoach) is only 215gram plus 24gram TPU tube, with a total of 239 grams.
Real world weight advantage VS rolling resistance data from machine test.
What do you think?
If somebody cares about weight for clinchers vs tubeless, he wouldn't own disc brake in the first place. I personally don't trust the tubeless system as it is in bike industry , so for me who own rim brake with carbon wheels the first option to go fast and safely would be clincher with tpu because I ride nearly 20000kms/700H per year. Its the lightest ,fastest,most safe, more durable, with more thread option
