Much has been written in the butyl vs. latex ongoin debate.
Now it seems that Fulcrum has come down against the use of latex inner tubes.
I have Fulcrum Racing Zero Ltd. Ed. on my C59. I have Fulcrum Racing Zero Nites on the C60.
Just today I was going through the manual for the Nites (I almost never read the owners manual).
While reading through I saw a warning not to use latex tubes because of the risk of overheating causing the tube to blow out.
The manual is both for Fulcrum aluminum and carbon wheels. The warning, however, is not specific to one material or the other.
I have used Fulcrum Racing Zeros, together with latex inner tubes, for a very long time and never had a problem.
I am going to check with my mechanic, but in the meantime, what do you all think?
