The mess, faff and roadside risks are just some of the reasons why all my road bikes still use inner tubes

I haven't tried tubeless yet, but I can say that I'm quite happy so far with the Ride now TPU tubes you can buy for cheap on AliExpress.
I generally aim for as low maintenance stuff as possible, so this fits well into that philosophy.
First I've heard of these. What's the advantage?
Allegedly:
- Lower rolling resistance
- Lighter weight
- Higher puncture resistance
- More expensive
- Trickier to repair?
Higher puncture resistance with lower weight? That seems counter intuitive but if you can vouch for it then maybe I'll give it a try
I have an ebike so I don't really care about weight lol
I can't vouch for the properties. I can only really say that I haven't had a puncture with them yet.
They are pretty cheap when purchased on AliExpress fwiw, so that might be a good option.
