Tube size

[captainhastings]

Sorry for the daft question but having just bought this bike

I thought I better get some bits to carry with me starting with a spare tube and a pump I guess. ( despite the X-RATED KEVLAR PUNCTURE PROTECTION no idea if thats any good )
I figured I need a 26 inch tube but after looking at there site theres 2 pages of 26 inch tubes

Need a pointer what to get really so as to avoid being given the wrong one

it will depend on the size of your tyres, this is usually written on the sidewall of the tyre somewhere

so you want a 26" x *tyre width* tube, or a tube with a width range which includes your tyre size
