[the_abhiG]

Hey guys can anyone tell me if it's possible/ok to fit 35-42c tube in 30/32c Tyre? And what are the negatives?

It might work but sounds a fair bit too big so every chance it will make the tyre harder to go on and maybe even pinch and puncture the tube in the process. For the sake of a few pounds, why not just get the correct size.

You might find it a little difficult to insert but should be okay. Give it a try.

I usually find the last two inches difficult I smear a small amount of washing up liquid around the edge of the tyre.Slips on with just finger pressure On the road I use theTyreke for the last bit Find this avoids the risk of a pinched tube which can happen using tyre leavers

Use talc on the tube.
