Tubes tend to expand to fit a range of sizes. Are you sure it says 25mm only?

Have you ever seen how fat a road tube can go?

 

[slowmotion]

Yes. No probs.

The tube??
I had a look and tbh it doesnt seem to say anything. I will check again.

Why would you use condoms in your tyres?

My Ebike has 2.35 tyres, but I can never seem to find any slime tubes over 2.25, think they are 1.75-2.25, they work fine.

Yes the tubes usually fit a range of widths. Typically 18-25 and 25-32 are often seen. The former not so much now.

I see Schwalbe seem to have 'changed' their range to 18-28 and 28-32 (normal ranges are 18-25). I suspect that their tubes labelled 18-28 are not dissimilar to 18-25 of yesteryear. Most reputable make inner tubes have the size printed on them. But it's irrelevant to the answer: 18-25 inners are fine in 28 tyres (which may not be actually 28 when on the rim and pumped up).

Yes ...

Hang on ..... you've googled it and posted about it .... Vittoria tubes are around a £1 from Planet X .... just do it .....

I've used the inexpensive Decathlon twin pack 25mm in 28mm tyres for years, no problems and they're smaller, so easier to store in your bag. I've cycled 1000's of miles on them.

They were £1.99 for a pack of two inner tubes, but they have gone up in price, since I bought them.

Not a problem, had 25mm tubes in 28mm tyres for over two years
