12 years. Still working. Some TLC, grease axle yearly and good to go

Cost-wise, the KEO cleats (licensed) are less than 1/2 of the original Shimano cleats here in Taiwan. After 10 sets of cleats, you could buy new pedals from the money you saved on the cleats. The pedals might be 'inexpensive', but the necessary plastic cleats are not...

You are very lucky then. They don't last in my experience, and cannot be patched. They do work well to carry as spares. That's about it for me.

​@@phoffen3829obviously you were very unlucky. Never had any problems neither any of my friends

Thanks, will do!

Enjoy!

Do they work with carbon rim brakes?

I've been using the same.....low rolling resistance and no punctures...liking it big time....

CAD 5.00 apiece plus air pollution for your personal packing shipped half around the world is indeed a small fee supporting 😆Communists! I hope that the Canadian government is at least so clever as to charge a very high import duty for Alibaba products!

@@GerhardWanninger-fi4bl Well Gerhard, my German friend . . . I am guilty as charged. However I DO have here a brand new Continental (a famous GERMAN brand right? well known for its quality products) inner tube made in . . . are you ready? Taiwan. Yes! TAIWAN LOL It uses twice the resources as the Cyclami TPU tube, weighs twice as much and is shipped almost the same distance as the one from China. And that would of course also apply to shipping to Germany or the UK as well I imagine. Of course Taiwan is not, thankfully, a communist country but the reality unfortunately is that WAY too many products ARE made in China - I wish it wasn't so. And if you check where the computer or phone that you wrote your remark on, you will find that not only is it multiple times the weight of my TPU tube, it too was shipped half way around to word to YOU from . . . mmmm . . . China? You must be QUITE the character at parties LOL Happy cycling and may all that exercise help you get rid of all those toxins floating around in your head :-) Cheers from Canada that didn't charge me import duties because the TPU tubes were so inexpensive that they flew under the radar and the allowable limit for purchases.

@@davidbee8178 Oh, my Canadian Friend! You are an adult, I suppose an adult could (!) think a little bit further. - Yes, some of us live in a free world, but many of us are not. People living in a free world should be thankful and maintain/support their own free world. The not-so-free world uses basically the money you spend on its products to support its own aggression against free countries, using spy balloons, software, etc. intimidate and spy on the free world and push their own politics and products. Even you should understand, that customers have a power to decide where his/her hard-earned money goes, to your friendly neighborhood store or an aggressor half around the world. - Yes, my computer and phone is made of Chinese products because there are no (!) alternatives, but for your TPU tubes there are alternatives, mainly made in Thailand. - Yes, your own parcel creates more pollution than riding to a shop nearby and supporting your local community. This has nothing to do with being a character at parties… - When a Chinese product says ‘made in Taiwan’ on its packing, it does not mean it was ‘made in Taiwan’. I have lived in the former Isla Formosa for more than 30 years, and have the same years of experience doing (!) international business. - Yes, I ride 7.500 km per year. Not so long ago there was a time when people started to use their brains, this clearly miraculously changed after a former president stepped on the scene. “Trump suggests 'injection' of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and 'clean' the lungs”. Hope your tubes are still holding up, the pressure of your 'country or origin' does for sure!😁

​@@davidbee8178absolutely torched em

My pleasure!

I patch them with a tpu patch, i apply glue on tube an patch and apply immediatly.

Didn’t know time was a product!

Damn! I heard from others the gp5000 str are also short lived. Met a guy looking for tires saying that his gp5000 str lasted only 6-7months and the guy is light weight compared to me.

@@bonbonflippers4298 my corsa next only lasted 3 months so i suppose 6 is significantly better if it's true... i just switched to gp5k astr so fingers crossed.

@@bingbing3464 dang for an expensive tire that's not great miles per value. I'm trying out pirelli cinturato velos as my training/daily tires. I'm saving my main bike for weekend rides.

Yes it's worth it. puncture resistance with latex is as good or better than butyl. Make sure you are prepared to pump tires before every ride though.

@@l.d.t.6327 Thank you for replying. Trying these for once won't be difficult. Will order couple of pieces soon.

CAAD12 - Cannondale Advanced Aluminium Design. Cannondale never made titanium frame

might be possible for me to use more than one pedal cleat system y'know

Don't believe they are, but there's a similar set of Shimano pedals that have SPD on one side and flats on the other (just need to add your own pins I believe). Roughly the same price, I've been told they're a little finnicky because you have to get the correct side up whenever you step on them, but supposedly not that bad (I don't have them myself but I'm considering picking up a pair, since I want to start trying the benefits of clipless but sometimes I just want to go for a quick ride with some regular shoes on).

I have these on my winter/commuting bike and often ride with regular shoes for shorter, slower trips (up to around 7km is my longest, most consistent trip). Obviously not grippy so wouldn’t want to be aggressive out of the saddle for example, but for quick trips they work fine when not using cleats.

Yes. They also sell self adhesive tpu patches, but from my experience they don't seal well

You can use self adhesive skin type but pays to use normal butyl glue

And it costs half as much. Win win.

Maybe a gravel bike if it's quite hard going, my slightly upgraded wheels have a lot less spokes than the stock ones so are probably more delicate.

Never found that to be the case.. ride depends on your pressures. However the Cyclami ones in the video with the metal valve stems have failed on me lots. The RideNow ones with plastic valve stems are much more reliable.

I personally don't have that same experiance.

I can’t hear your cries of comfort over the songs of faster and lighter. ;)

Been riding tpu for over a year now on 4 bikes different psi and tire size types. They don't feel harsh to me at all.

Glad to hear 4 positive reviews on TPU, I was set on purchasing them this week (ride now 38g for £5ish) Does the inner tube deflate quickly like the latex tubes or is it similar to butyl tubes?

Anybody who used them on rim brakes and still is positive about it?

@@roberthotter7008 friend of mine went flat on both wheels at the same time on a mountain descent… Taxi'd home.

If you havent tried them how do you know?? I've found them to be fantastic

@@truthseeker8483 the ride feel will be the same as other TPUs, not much doubt about that.

@@roberthotter7008 Yes me...

Buy a new bike, and you need to buy pedals. Its a fair recommendation.

Any other brand

No

If you are using 105 or something lower end, you will notice a weight difference. The 105 cassette is fairly heavy. The shifting between 105 and Ultegra isn't really noticable to me.

If you're on 105, then Dura Ace is a great upgrade - I'd skip Ultegra.

@@DaveCM for 12 speed 105 and Ultegra are nearly the same, only dura ace is really a difference

Chain not really but the ultegra cassette is the best wright to price

Such a banal statement. In what way are they better? Shimano pedals are proven, durable and reliable and east to get on with.

@@Ivan-oh6ug I tried both, Look are objectively better in weight-quality-price

I've ridden with Look since they first came out. Only recently went to Shimano. I don't see a diffence. The Shimano are just as good.

​@DaveCM that's really disappointing really. I had the red and white looks in 1990ish, then whet onto time equipe. Had look and time since, but am back on the equipes again. Why can't we have some decent pedals?

OMG LAST!

Latex tubes have approx 5w less rolling resistance than TPU, but both are considerably faster than standard butyl. However, TPU tubes have a higher puncture resistance than latex, which in my opinion gives them an overall win.

Do You use them on rin brake bikes? Heat seemed to be a problem ..?

​@@roberthotter7008 I have them on all my rim brake bikes. Haven't had an issue with heat so far.

Thanks, so did You have some longer descends, likke 5-10min?

Why do you say that?

He did say he use it.

Got up on wrong side of bed?

Who hurt you?

I did wonder how those speedplay cleats get on with the shimano pedals 😂
