Inner tubes

Light and highly packable TPU tubes that make good emergency spares

Diminutive in both size and weight, but stronger than they look

Superlight tubes with a great ride feel and the durability to at least match regular butyl

Good valves that are especially well suited to a tyre liner setup

Light and supple alternative to a normal tube or tubeless but expensive and still not resistant to punctures that are fiddly

Novel design and technical ingenuity at its best – these valves are undeniably expensive but commensurately brilliant

Nicely designed, nicely made and effective premium valves with a premium price

Fuss-free, top-quality and reliable tubeless valves

Very good cost-effective and seemingly durable upgrade for lighter wheelsets

Puncture-proof tubes that are lighter than butyl – they're ideal for wide tyres that don't have adequate protection

Impressive low weight and puncture resistance, but not easily repairable

Impressive low weight and puncture resistance, but not easily repairable

Extremely light and gives a very comfortable ride – worth the extra expense and repair faff if you puncture

Incredible low weight, but can be delicate, especially during installation

For inner tube fans these are an improvement on butyl, light with a good feel, but they are expensive

Great at keeping tubeless tyres on the rim when flat, but the system isn't ideal for all

Effective rim protection and impressive extra tyre stability

Beautiful ride quality and very lightweight, but question marks over the ability to repair

Pricier than most but do an excellent job and look the business

A very viable alternative to tubeless for saving weight at the wheel, and they promise puncture benefits too

The best tubeless valves I've used yet, at a price

Solid budget tubes that do offer some additional protection from punctures

The upfront cost is higher than a regular inner tube, but you should see a reduction in punctures.

Inner-tubes to help reduce the chance of punctures. Ideal in winter, but they're not featherlight

Good value solution for the particularly puncture prone
