Flat Resistant TPU Inner Tubes
Costco Price
$15.99
Upgrade your inner tube game with our high performance TPU construction inner tubes. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane for you mechanically minded folks) is an industrial material prized for its high mechanical strength, elasticity, and air retention properties; a perfect mix of characteristics for an inner tube! TPU inner tubes are lighter, more flat resistant, and retain air a little better than the more common butyl rubber material most tubes are made of. They also pack down much smaller than rubber inner tubes, trimming bulk from your ride essentials. Unlike many others on the market, our TPU inner tubes use a little thicker wall thickness to maximize the durability and air retention traits of the material so you can focus on the ride and less on fixing and maintaining your gear.

Note, it is very important not to exceed the recommended size range of an TPU inner tube or inflate it when out of the tire. Doing so may result in failure of the tube. No inner tube is flat proof, though proper inflation and flat resistant tires help decrease the chances of a flat.

LAUNCHPAD FEATURES
The Launchpad 26” bicycle is designed with versatility in mind, accommodating advancing skills and fitting riders within a broad size range. It excels on varied terrain, ensuring performance in diverse riding conditions. We’ve put in the effort to guarantee that the Launchpad meets these challenges while remaining low maintenance, long-lasting, and a great value. Riders can enjoy the Launchpad as they grow in size and strength before transitioning to an adult-sized bicycle. With its high-quality frame and components, we envision the Launchpad lasting beyond just one rider—making it a perfect choice for family and friends to share.
RUST/GREASE-FREE BELT DRIVE
Chains are the # 1 issue on bicycles. They get dirty, fall off, and they're at a perfect height for tweens to get grease on their favorite pants. Our rust-free and grease-free Gates Belt is cleaner, smoother, and doesn’t require maintenance. Also, it won’t snap off or break under the weight of a rider.
3-Speed Rear Hub
This is the same industry-leading Shimano hub that's featured on our adult models. The 3-speed internally geared hub carries enough range to get around the neighborhood, in a cleaner, more intuitive to shift, ultra low-maintenance package.
Adjustable Quill Stem
The Launchpad can grow with your ever growing tween/teen rider. The classic lines and tried and true quill stem design easily raises and lowers for comfort across a wide range of ages and sizes.
Stop on a Dime - Dual Handbrakes
Dual handbrake levers connected to reliable, intuitive, and smooth stopping V-brakes allow for a comfortable, confident ride.
Durability & Rust-Fighting
Bikes get left on lawns with sprinklers, tossed in the back of cars, dropped, and any number of other things that happen. The lightweight aluminum frame won’t rust, neither will the alloy wheels and stainless steel spokes. It’s a quality bike built to last long enough for sharing with siblings and friends.
Puncture-Resistant Tires
It’s an awesome feeling when your kids are ready to ride with—and without— you. But road debris and sharp stones on bike paths can be a real bummer. Our puncture-resistant multi-terrain tires help protect against unwanted flats.
Mid-Step Frame
The mid-step frame design helps all riders easily mount and dismount the bicycle with an overall geometry that will accommodate the rider as they grow. This allows for much more flexibility over time.
BY THE NUMBERS
Kick off your adventure with the Launchpad 26” for a safe and comfortable ride filled with style and confidence. Designed in one size, the Launchpad can grow with you, ensuring a perfect fit as your skills and strength develop. While height and age range are important, the recommended leg inseam is the key factor in choosing the ideal fit.
