Inner-tube size

[Wayne Tully]

Hey guys

Anyone know what inner-tube size I'd need for a Triban 3 and where to buy them?

Cheers

The size will be printed on the side of the tyre wall. ie 700X25.
You can buy innertubes from any cycling retailer either on the high street or online.

I'll hijack rather than start a new thread....

Just bought some 18-23 tubes but fancy some 25 tyres, ive read they will still be fine but im not certain....

Op wiggle do a pack of 6 lifeline tubes that are cheap and do the job nicely

18-23 tubes will be fine for 25mm tyres
as for cheap tubes - I wouldn't - they are prone to splitting and the valve either leaking air of breaking when you least need it

Excellent value tubes here. About a third the value the lbs charges for similar spec tubes. Another source for good value tubes is Decathlon.

at those prices do most people just change inner tubes then instead of puncture repair on road side?

Are you stalking me, bigup?

No idea with the differences in weight. I bought 10 tubes, 4 lightweight for the best bike and 6 standard ones for my commuter. I'll weigh them when they arrive, either tomorrow or Thursday.

Personally, I carry at least one tube when out. I just swap the tubes out if need be on the road and, if the culprit tube isn't too bad, I tend to patch it up and keep as a spare. If I get more than two patches on a tube, I bin it.

Just jesting with ya!

No problem, matey. I'm always here for friendly advice/info, yet, there are others on here with far superior knowledge than me regards certain bike related stuff.

No problem, will do

I tend to bin them. I carry two spares and so do the people I ride with.

At 1.50 a tube I consider them disposable as I've only had two punctures in 18months.

Change tube, take old one home to repair.
