The Schwalbe Aerothan redefines the tube! By using a completely new type of plastic, Schwalbe has brought together the most opposite characteristics of an inner tube: low rolling resistance, low weight and high puncture resistance. The Aerothan combines the puncture resistance of butyl tubes with the rolling resistance and weight of latex tubes. The Schwalbe Aerothan Allround is the extremely light and reliable tube for a wide range of applications, from everyday use to long and arduous bike rides. With one set of the Aerothan Allround, you gain about 180 grams compared to standard Schwalbe butyl tubes. The gains don't stop there, because the rolling resistance is also much lower thanks to the Aerothan Allround. This, together with an unrivalled puncture resistance for this weight, means you can take on any bike ride with confidence! Compact size The Aerothan Allround is not only a lot lighter than comparable butyl tubes, it is also a lot more compact because the material is not as thick as butyl. This makes the Aerothan very handy to carry as a spare tyre in a saddlebag or backpack. If you want to take even less with you, you can also repair the Aerothan on the road. This can be done with Schwalbe Glueless Patches, which you simply stick on the Aerothan without sanding. Please make sure the inner tube is clean. 100% recyclable An Aerothan inner tube is 100% recyclable. Not only the tube itself is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, but also the valve, from the cap to the valve core. This means that everything can be reused. However, an Aerothan inner tube cannot be reused as an inner tube, but it can be used as an insulation material.
