Title: 26x2.25 tubes?
Post by: Kyle on July 14, 2003, 01:53:25 am

did a little mild biking yesterday and ended up with two flats! need to replace my tubes. The tires are 26x2.25"

All the places open on Sunday (non-bike stores) only had 26x2.125"

I know its only 1/8" but I didnt get them. Should I hold out for 2.25" tubes? And why cant I find them at a normal sporting good store!?


oh yeah, tires are geax blade 225's

 not on expert but I have 1.9 tubes inside my 2.1 tires and running low pressure on it. 'seems to be holding up. I think 1/8" won't make much of a difference.......btw, I always put a bit of talcum powder inside the tire b4 putting the tube in - something about friction they say.
