I bought a 2nd hand bike from a friend and have been hiting the road with it a few times doing max 25 miles at moment.
I wanna start pushing to boat out and know doing this i will need to carry a little bit extra kit for eg tubes.
So come to my qustion as i am a total newbie to bikes. Tube sizes. I believe i currently have Continental 700 x 18/25c tubes but when searching to buy new ones i see there is available 700 x 18/23c and a few others i was wondering if anyone could advise me of that all these numbers mean and can i put any 700 tube in the bike, i know some valve sizes are different as mine are currently 42mm but all i can find is 52 i think.
Tyres aswell, can someone point me in the right direction of advice mayeb on this website or another to find the in's and out's on tyres. I know there is properbly some books out there that i should get my head into but i don't know where to start. I just want to understand my bike and treat it with care so it looks after me
many thanks in advance as always
