Hi to you all, my first real post here.

I recently purchased a Scott Sub20 Hybrid bike with 26x1.25 tyres and inner tubes. The bike was 2nd hand but in very good condition apart from having a flat back tyre.

I am having a problem finding the correct inner tube because of the deep rim of the wheel. I bought a standard inner tube but only a small portion of the valve extends out of the rim.

Is there a special longer valved inner tube available at my local bike shop or is it something I will have to order online.

Thanks
 
Yes, you can get long valved versions of tubes for deep rims. Measure the valve or take the tube to your LBS to get the right length. You can also get valve extenders.
