In general Latex tubes are lighter and some claim they have lower rolling resistance and higher puncture resistance. I haven't seen a good study that backs up the last two claims but lots of folks swear by them. Latex tubes also lose air faster than butyl tubes so you have to pump them up more frequently.encomium said:what's the difference? which is better in terms of performance, comfort and lasting longer?
Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never had any problems installing latex tubes. But I am familiar with the pumping. And they do seem to ride nicer, but of course that could be my imagination (but imagination is powerful...).bobbyOCR said:It is a hassle to install and use though, with all the talcing and pumping before every ride.
