Do you ever feel like, at the end of the year—right after the holiday season—the air, both literally and figuratively, has gone out of your tires? Yes? We feel the same, honestly. But we’ve got just the thing to fix that! At ProCycling Women, we recently received something that’s sure to breathe new life into our 2025 cycling adventures: trendy, ultra-light inner tubes for your sporty bike from Tubolito. And guess what? You can benefit from them too!

Now, you might be wondering: what’s so special about an inner tube? Maybe you’re the type who simply grabs whatever tube is available or the cheapest option. Or perhaps you’re a specialist who’s been riding with the same high-quality latex tubes for years. Well, no matter which type you are, listen up!

The Tubolito inner tubes are something special. Right from the moment you open the package, their bold color grabs your attention—they’re bright orange! Sure, no one will see it once the tube is mounted, except for the orange valve stem, but let that be your little inside joke while cycling with your friends. “Oh, you’re still riding with those boring black butyl tubes? I’ve got orange ones!”

The color is super trendy and all, but that’s not the main selling point. Tubolito inner tubes are also incredibly compact, making them super easy to carry. They don’t create a bulky lump in the back pocket of your jersey. In fact, you might even have room for an extra energy bar on a long ride—or a banana, if that’s more your style. Or you could just bring along an extra tube, simply because you can!

And now, let’s talk about weight—briefly, because honestly, there’s almost none. Tubolito inner tubes are, believe it or not, up to 80% lighter than regular inner tubes. For example, a Tubolito inner tube for your road bike with a 60mm valve weighs just 39 grams. In comparison, its butyl counterpart easily weighs 150 grams or more. So, if you’ve got a Tubolito in both the front and rear, that’s a weight saving of over 200 grams—definitely not bad after all those holiday dinners and New Year’s drinks!

Furthermore, the Tubolito inner tubes are incredibly durable—we haven’t had a flat with them yet—and they’re all made in Europe, which is a nice bonus. Oh, and for the tech enthusiasts out there: the tube is made from thermoplastic elastomer, just so you know!

Now, you’ve been waiting for the good news… Here it is! You can get the inner tubes at a discount. For followers of Pro Cycling Women, there’s an exclusive offer: use the code PCW25 at www.busybee.nl to get 25% off your order. Happy days!

Before we literally roll into the new year, we’re going for one more ride. Will we see you on the other side of the gong?
