stupid question time..inner tubes!?!

(1/3) > >>

Jt:
right then..have fitted some 1.5 tyres to 1.75 tims for sleek looks and am liking it...using 1.75 tubes etc..

what tubes do i use for 1.5 rims, as i'm building 2 sets for so i have options of builds, but i think the 1.75 standard tubes will be too big?

am i right or am i stupid or both? and more besides?

many thanks

Dumb bastard JT!!

lazychubs:

but im sure they skinny tubes lol
or 1'75 not blown up to high

SaMAlex:
You def used to be able to get 20x1.5 tubes. Racers would put 1.5 tubes in 1.75 tyres cos they were a tiny bit lighter!


Haha, imagine that; going crazy to save a tiny bit of weight. Some strange things went on in the 80s. It would never be like that now!  :2funny:
