Do you label your inner tubes??

[matticus]

I get round the different sizes with unused tubes still in boxes in the garage. Tubes in use (as spares) either sit in a different rucksack/camelbak for both MTB's. Road bikes take same tubes so that doesn't matter. The 26" tubes sit in either my panniers or a rucksack I use for that bike. The 27.5's are in a camelbak as that bike is used for totally different stuff (so more kit in that pack as I usually do longer/more off grid rides). Then both road bikes just have the same tube/puncture pack I take out with me.

What a mess Why don't you just go tubeless??

Indeed this / similar. unused in the shed they are in boxes, in a saddle pack, its not that difficult to see the size printed on the tube if you're in any doubt! Just move a bit of rubber and have a look.

as to different sizes, if its an emergency spare, a 700 28-35m tube will suffice on anything from a 25mm-45mm tyre anyway and cover 27" as well as 700c.

I don't have any inner tubes.

Suck air out, fold and make sure the valve is tucked away.

But can you see the details?

Last night I practiced my folding. No more problems:

I may be missing something here but every inner tube I have ever fitted has had the size printed on it.

That is often hidden when the tube is rolled up. You need to specifically look for where it is printed when folding/rolling the tube and make sure that is visible, as Matticus has done in the post before yours.

I just carry a repair outfit.

Technically I'm not a Yorkshireman, I've just lived here for over 30 years

Technically, I am, but I've not lived there for 63 years.

Supplementary question.

How do you roll or fold your inner tubes?
Flat, in a roll? How do you expel all the air etc

Roll it up towards the valve to squeeze the air out, then shut the valve and roll it the other way, around the valve. Then put a rubber band around it.

Ah! So obvious. What was I not thinking to make it so complicated?
