Shoddy Dave tests Tubolito’s latest lightweight TPU tubes that offer real time tire pressure monitoring, in addition to the ride quality and weight saving benefits of standard Tubolito tubes.

The days of 110 PSI rock-hard tires are history. We’ve done some science, learned some lessons, and now know how to go faster on a bike, in way more comfort too.
It all comes down to the right tire pressure.
Tubolito SYNCD smart tubes make sure you’re always riding at the ideal pressure. SYNCD tubes are like Tubolito’s standard lightweight tubes that are made of durable, extra puncture resistant TPU. The one critical difference: they add in a high tech element beneath the surface, connecting via Bluetooth to your Garmin or phone to give you live updates on your tire pressure.
What does that mean for you? Several things. You get real time monitoring of your tire pressure, so you know at a glance that you are at the exact pressure you want before you start a ride, and throughout your journey. Second, it helps you dial in your ideal pressure. And critically, it alerts you if your tire falls beneath a certain pressure so you can take care of a leak ASAP, and respond to a sudden flat safely.
Shoddy Dave got some SYNCD tubes in to try for himself to help dial in his proper tire pressure. Take a look at the video to see what he learns while testing the lightweight tubes.
