Foss tubes

[vorsprung]

Just put some Foss tubes on my best bike.

If the hype about these is true they seem a good upgrade.

Any practical experience of these tubes?

They're just latex aren't they?

Continental do something similar for mountain bikes but I've not bothered because while they may be "slightly" more resistant to snake-bites they're going to puncture just the same from pin-points and weight isn't really something I worry about.

For road biking I would be interested however so looking forward to some replies.

They are not latex. They might look a bit like that in the pictures but they don't feel like latex. I wouldn't like to use latex because of the air leakage problem
