Hello all!
This is probably a very trivial question for all of you! I have a bike with a dead inner tube. I was just trying to order a replacement, but the sidewall wants a 27x1-1/8 tyre fitted. These seem very hard to find! By comparison, 27x 1-1/4 seem very common. Would a 1-1/4 inch inner tube fit in a 1 1/8 inch tyre? Or is that a bad idea?
For bonus points, can I put a new 1-1/4 inch tyre on the wheel, or will the rim only hold the 1-1/4 sized ones? If I replace the tyre (which needs replacing soon anyway), I could fix the inner tube issue!
Thanks!
