Inner Tube 28x 1-3/8 x 1-5/8 Straight Schrader Valve 28 Inch Bicycle Bike Wheel

Product Information

Tubeless tyres, as the name suggests, do away with an inner tube and, in its absence, are reliant on the shape and tightness of the tyre bead to ensure the tyre doesn’t blow off the rim at high inflation pressures; in a conventional clincher tyre, the inner tube keeps the bead securely located under the rim hook. the first is the width of the tire in millimeters and the second is the diameter of the tire in millimeters.

How do you know what size tyres will fit your bike? It should be easy: buy exactly the same model of tyre as those already on the bike. Of course, this isn’t much help if identical tyres aren’t readily available, if you fancy something different or if you’re looking for replacements in unusual and hard-to-find sizes.

Presta or Schrader valves?

Inner tubes are normally made of butyl rubber or Latex, they sit inside your tyre and are inflated with a pump, they sometimes puncture but are easily replaced. Inner tubes are simple but essential – unless you’re riding with tubeless tyres, you’ll always need an inner tube. Carrying spares is always a good idea, even if you are running tubeless, as a large slash or hole will not seal easily.

Nowadays almost all rims have hooked flanges (required to retain folding tyres) that will hang onto tyres up to three times their width. This increases the cushioning effect: you get more comfort out of the same tyre at the same pressure when you fit it to a narrow rim – yet it still rolls just as easily.Even worse, the same or very similar markings can sometimes be found on completely different sizes of tyre: 26×1½ and 26x1.5. It might be supposed that these two tyres are both notionally 26" diameter and one and a half inches in width, but 26×1½ is a whole inch bigger than 26×1.5.
