inner tubes

[nickg]

I need to order some new inner tubes. My bike is not with me at the moment. I know it has 700c size but unsure what valve length. Is this a problem if I order shorter or longer than fitted?

Valve length depends on the depth of the wheel rim. Standard wheels on lower end bikes tend to require the basic valve length. The more aero the wheel, the deeper the rim is and the longer the valve required.

What make and model bike do you have and are the wheels standard?

Hi it a wilier montegrapper 2011 and its all standard.

I prefer longer valves - simply easier to use with my Joe Blow track pump

Halfords = 5 tubes for £9 if a British Cycling member (£10 if not)...and you can get Quidco if order online for collect in store
