stupid question time..inner tubes!?!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jt:
always liked the thinner wheel set up on the racers....

i like the 1.5 tyres on a 1.75 rim, but now i've had a good look at the 1.5' rims i reckon the edges are quite thick, and i dont reckon a 1.75 tube will fit proper inside a 1.5 tyre on a 1.5 rim...

better get to the cellar and try....

bollocks.

SaMAlex:
bah, it will work fine.

Ive also heard of people using 20" tubes in 24" rims cos they are lighter.

I used to put two 20x1.75 TYRES on one wheel and cram a 20x1.75 tube in there and it was always fine.

If you inflate an innter tube outside the tyre they go massive. It will take, just get it in there and pump it up.

theRuler:
you can run mtb tubes stuffed in bmx tyres too, if you are desperate

i remember the multiple tyres thing too in the nineties

my wheels musta weighed about 10 pounds

Jt:
cheers chaps
