Solid tube state
3 of 3 found this helpful Solid tubes and solid tires are about the same weight as tubeless tires or pneumatic tires with puncture proof liners or sealant.
The ride feel is a little bit harsh (imagine over inflated tires). The pedal effort is slightly harder (imagine pedaling under inflated tire). The pros of solid tube over solid tire is that you can use your existing rims or wheel set. Unlike solid tire which have specific rim sizes to fit. Installation is relatively easy as any pneumatic tire. From my personal experience, solid tire is much harder to install than solid tube.
Overall, I recommended solid tubes. In fact, I'm switching my bikes to solid tube except one with solid tires (just for comparison and experimental purposes)
