Mr Motivator Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yes, but you don't want one.They leak air and pinch too easy. Normal tubes aren't exactly heavy anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 latex tubes are harder to pinch than normal as they are flexier so can be bent around a lot more untill they split like normal tubes do in a pinchI run latex front and rear on my bike and havnt had a puncture yet, but they do loose air after a few days.

Swize Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) If you that weight concuious why not run tubeless/latex in the frount and the a standard tube in the back where you need it ?But to be honist its not worth it things like that arnt a big deal stop telling your self it is.
