Not IME.


Hello

this quote is a traduction of what Alban say in some comments/discussion with another guy (en francais dans le texte).

Personally, I only used latex inner tube on track : little braking involved. So, no experience on the road.

But I heard many times (including from road pro) that latex inner tube are considered dangerous on carbon wheels if heavy braking is involved.

Then, of course, "heavy braking experience" can be different if you tri on a relatively flat course or if you repeat up/down alpine and pyrenean pass.

Doing both, I do not use latex on the road. I mean... for inner tube.
