This is going to be a little different... I saw a video on youtube with Caden from Caden wheels explaining how he used sealant in TPU tubes with tubeless tires. Not TPU specific sealant, just tubeless sealant. He claimed the sealant lasted longer because there wasn't as much evaporation from inside the TPU tube and that the chances of a burp flat went dramatically down.
I decided to try it and here's the result so far. TPU tubes in this tire with sealant have been flat free through the Tour de Tucson and several hundred miles more. These tires roll and corner great and have been reliable. I won't know if I've gotten any punctures until I get one that's so big the sealant won't fill it or I take the tire off to replace it, but so far Caden has been right.
Review for the 38mm Schwalbe Pro One TLE tire. I installed a 38mm Pro One TLE to replace a worn 34mm Pro One TLE on my Specialized Turbo Creo e-bike that I use for work commuting, which is a 48 mile round trip commute. The extra 4mm width added some comfort/cush to the stiff riding frame. Commuted 1500 miles on this (rear) tire with no issues. Held air just fine and no flats in over 1600 miles commuting. Some conditions include sticks/twigs/debris on a canopy covered trail. Tire is starting to square off but after 1600 miles w/ average speed at 21.3mph with the power of an e-bike, I'd say this tire handled it just fine.
Fizik always knocks it out of the park with their products. My bike feels like it has a brand new life with how gorgeous this tape looks. It feels great too. They also include extra sections to hide the exposed part of where there would be a gap in the wrap just under the shifter/brake hoods. I found there was plenty of tape to generously wrap. The only thing that wasn't super compatible with my bike was the endcaps. However, this tape easily worked with my old end caps, so it wasn't an issue, and they're definitely reusable.
I was looking for a handlebar that had a long enough center section to run some in-line brakes on my X-Fire that i have generally used as a trail bike. Long before Gravel bikes made the scene i have been using Cyclocross bikes to trail ride. i bought a pair of these bars, one for my geared and one for my single speed X-Fires. They are comfortable, dampen fairly well and well within my budget. I run carbon bars on my road bikes and mtn bikes, but found myself not wanting to spend a lot of money for two sets of bars. This bar is a great bar if you are on a budget and not too hung up on having to have carbon. Flare is not excessive and the reach and drop are comfortable.
