26" x 1.95 26 INCH BICYCLE BIKE CYCLE INNER TUBE WITH SCHRADER VALVE

Product Information

You must make sure you replace your inner tubes with a tube that is the right size according to the diameter and width for your tyre. The size is almost always written somewhere on the sidewall of the tyre. Inner tubes typically state a wheel diameter and width range for which they will work, e.g. 26 x 1.95-2.125", indicating that the tube is intended to fit a 26 inch tyre with a width of between 1.95 inches and 2.125 inches. Presta - The presta valve comes in a variety of lengths so you need to measure it. For the majority of bikes, they will use a standard length, usually around 40mm (32mm to 45mm). But for deeper section rims, 50mm, 60mm, 80mm valve lengths are available.

3. Inner Tube Size Examples

You’ll find a LOT of bike tires that ‘kinda look similar’ but, in practice, will likely not be the correct size for your bike. Best bet is to get a tire that has the exact reference number as on your existing tires (i.e. 26×1.95). Tire size differences can lead to problems down the road (literally). 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. You must replace the valve with the same valve type as originally used. Most bikes in the UK will use a Schrader or Presta valve. It really is as important to understand sizing as well as valve types, so do take the time to make sure you know which valve you need. Our complete guide to valve types will help. There are many different types of inner tube available so it is important that you get the right tube for your bike and to suit the riding that you are doing. How would I choose the best inner tube for my tyres? Schrader - The Schrader valve is usually standard in size and all will likely be compatible. But if your Schrader valve is over 40mm you will likely need an XL size.

If you find damage to the tire, then it’s probably time to get a replacement. It’s highly frustrating to go to the trouble of replacing a tube…only to find that it punctures because your tire is too damaged to protect it.

\n\t\t\tSlime Smart Inner Tube, 29\" x 1.85 - 2.20\", Presta

On bikes, Schrader valves tend to be used on lower pressure tyres, such as kids's bikes and mountain bikes. These are the same valves used on all motor vehicle tyres and are often referred to as ‘car type’ valves. Schrader valves have a core that is sprung loaded, and the central pin can be depressed with a narrow object to release air from the tube. The spring mechanism keeps the valve closed. Looking at this inner tube box we can see a plethora of information. But if we break it down we can find the sizes we want. We need 26 x 1.95. As you can see it matches 26" but there is no reference to 1.95? Not to worry. Because inner tubes dilate (fancy way of saying stretches) across a range of sizes, 1.95 is in-between 1.75 and 2.00. So this will work.
