I’ve been using Schwalbe Aerothan tubes for 3 years. I replace them with Clik TPU Tubes to get metal stems and the Clik valve system. I really can’t tell a difference in ride quality, which is a win for Clik based on the lower price
A pair of the TPU tubes saved me 500 grams of weight on the fat bike! The weight savings was very noticeable on the trail. Installation was easy. I went this route instead of running a tubeless set up since my wheels are older non tubeless rims and a pair of tubes is much cheaper than new rims. So far I'm very impressed with the Clik valve and will eventually go to Clik valves on all my bikes. So five stars for now and if they last a long time with all the riding abuse then I would add a sixth star if I could.
I ride in rocky terrain, which means I tend to get pinch flats fairly often. I don't like patching tubes on the trail, and my bike has pretty fat tires, so spare tubes take up a lot of space in my little under-seat tool bag. I decided to give the AeroBlue TPU inner tube a try, and so far, I'm impressed. The spare takes up very little space in my tool bag. I had to use one on a recent ride, and the tube replacement went without a hitch.
The only minor hassle is having to carry two CO₂ adapters—one for Presta and one for Clik. That should go away once I replace my front tube with a Clik Valve tube.
I love the convenience of these valves and the front valve and stem work very well with no leaks, however the valve I installed in the rear is leaking air from the seal. Rather disappointing for 50 dollars.
