Inner Tube Size??

[simmo3801]

Can anyone advise me about inner tube sizes? I've fitted 26 x 1.0 slick tyres to my mtb for commuting and had ordered 26 x 1.0 tubes off fleabay. They arrived today but the box says 26 x 1.25 - 1.5. Will these be ok or should I stick to 26 x 1.0s only. I don't want to contact the seller and appear daft if it's not a problem but on the other hand don't want to be stuck with too big tubes.....

Thanks

They will be a little too big - you can try to get them in, but it will not be that easy.

Really you need 26*1.0 if that's the size of your tyres.

If they were described as 26*1.0 then contact them quickly and complain - if you wait too long they'll say it's too late.

A decent shop will sort this out, if you bought them from some random guy on fleabay then it's a real lottery as to whether they will even reply to your emails. Although, there are some big sellers on there with terrible feedback comments!
