🎓 Reddit experts on bike tubes
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where bike tubes are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
700 refers to the wheel size (diameter), 25 is the tire width. Tubes will generally have a size and a range of widths they will work with. You want something that says 700 and includes "25" in the range of widths.
This Continental tube has a width range of 25-32: https://www.amazon.com/Continental-Presta-Valve-Black-25-32cc/dp/B008ZTM95C/
EDIT: Amazon isn't too good about linking to specific options. Make sure you select "700 x 25-32mm - 42mm presta valve". The 42mm is the length of the valve. Valve length isn't usually too important, but measure yours to make sure your replacement tube won't be too short or anything. Too long is ok.
I'm gonna go with yes though it may take soaking in a bucket of hot soapy water. An alternative would be something like this flat proof '
inner tube' https://www.amazon.com/Bell-No-Mor-Flats-1-75-x-2-125-Inch/dp/B00005BTJ8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I've been happy with https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Mountain-Morph-Bike-Pump/dp/B000FI6XJE and https://www.amazon.com/Meiser-Presta-Valve-Gauge-Pressure-Relief/dp/B00GO4PY3Y
I just googled the 37-622. There are some sites that give explanations of what the numbers mean. Essentially, a way to denote the tire size. From there, you can get a good idea of what tubes to throw in it.
Also, google's first amazon result said use these
T9 is a fine lubricant.
Regarding tubes, I think you're missing a digit on that tire size. I'm guessing it's probably a 27 x 1 1/4. The 27 is the wheel size (630 mm) and the 1 1/4 is the width (32 mm). Look for a tube that has that same size listed on it (like this one. Also, make sure it has the same type of valve (it's probably a schrader valve, which is what I linked, but make sure it's not presta). Last, 1 1/4 is not the same as 1.25 when it comes to bike tires.
Found the tires x2.
Tubes x2.
Seat is your choice, look for a "cruiser seat" if you want to retain the look of it x1.
Brake pads x2.
Cable kit is above. That should give you a rough outline of what I had to replace on mine, not counting opening up any of the sealed components to clean and regrease.
I would go with no on that one. I believe you'll want a slightly smaller diameter tube 1.25-1.75", the one you selected is a bit larger than your original.
Have a gander at this guy: http://www.amazon.com/Kenda-Tube-Bicycle-Tire/dp/B001G63AS6/ref=pd_sbs_sg1
or this guy: http://www.amazon.com/Avenir-Regular-Schrader-Valve-1-50-1-75/dp/B00165PA1W/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1317614804&amp;sr=1-2
I'm guessing you want a Schrader valve (yes, there's more than one type, then there are even more choices in valve-stem lengths!!!)
Quite a few of my experienced cycling friends have said the slime-thing is a gimmick and not really worth the extra cost.
Additionally, to verify that you've got the right tube, you can look on the sidewall of your actual tire, it should also specify the dimensions and correct inflation pressure.
edited for less derp.
Exactly what someone else said, some brands (cheaper especially) tend to be leakier than others. I would try a better quality tube before other factors.
These Schwalbe sv15 tubes are my current favourites.
It's easy to find online at walmart or amazon...
Since you mentioned that you're looking on Amazon, here is an Amazon link:
Continental 42mm Presta Valve Tube, Black, 700 x 25-32cc https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZTM95C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.bzACbEQMZGFS
As others have stated, always buy a tube that fits your wheel (700 in this case) and your tire width (28mm). Most tubes have a range of widths they will fit so look for any presta valve tube sized 700 x (a range within which your tire width of X-milimeters falls). Again, in your case, X=28. The tube linked above will fit any 700-sized wheel and any tire approximately 25-32mm wide. So it should work fine for you.
Watch some GCN videos on YouTube about how to install the new tube if you've never done it. They'll show you how to avoid pinch flats, which are one of the most frustrating things that can happen when changing a flat.
Those should be sweet, though obviously with slicks you'll want to take it more cautiously if riding offroad with turning and braking, especially if it's not a harder surface. But as long as it's not muddy or loose sand/dirt you should still have a decent amount of grip from a 2" tire.
Get a pair of tire levers so you can get your old tires off and the new ones on, get a spare inner tube or two as well in case you get a puncture, and a decent pump with a gauge if you don't have one already as it's important to pump the tires up to the correct pressure, running them too soft means punctures are far more likely and the bike can handle badly in corners and need more effort to pedal along.
Would a polyurethane tube help?
https://www.amazon.com/tubolito-Tubo-27-5-1-8-2-4-Tube/dp/B075MGGZRR
Get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Stop-A-Flat-1-75-Tube-Yellow-16-Inch/dp/B00S0N8WCM/
The size of the tire tube you need should be on the graco stroller tires.
My graco fast action stroller tires popped so many times. Then I got these for the back two wheels and it’s been great. I never got a front wheel no pop tube because they didn’t have the size when I ordered the back tubes, but it hasn’t popped yet.
We ordered this one and DH was able to replace the tube
Slime Smart Tube Schrader Valve Bicycle Tube (16 x 1.75-2.125), 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GCFP994/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_x58rzbA5GX0V3
Since the current tube says '26X1.25-1.75' you'll likely want to get something similar, like this. You may also want to match the valve type on the tube as well, though I can't tell what you have from that picture.
Cool, I'm not seeing many of those tbh, is this the one to get?
https://www.amazon.com/Vittoria-Latex-700x25-Presta-Valve/dp/B01L38MW58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1538830052&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=latex+tube+28
Thinking about it, I only removed the tubes with the lever, not used it to put it back.
Yeah, 5 in a row is what got me to start the thread.
Is this the one you're talking about?
https://www.amazon.com/Schwalbe-Bicycle-Tube-Schraeder-1-125-18/dp/B00488V79I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497262820&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Schwalbe+AV4
Only way that makes sense is on a carbon or titanium frame that weighs under 10 pounds. Alternatively, these weigh like 2 pounds.
Stop-A-Flat Puncture Proof, Thorn-Resistant, No-Flat, Bicycle Tube https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0N8WM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OSjODbYWFJ7CQ
You'd use tubes rated for 700x50 (aka 50-622) of course, like these: https://www.amazon.com/Kenda-29er-Bicycle-Tube-Presta/dp/B00407YIW0
something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Avenir-Long-Schrader-Valve-1-9-2-125/dp/B003CGHDFE
Yup
Meiser Presta-Valve Dial Gauge 15 PSI https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GO4PY3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cgbVBb6XE0DGB
so this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZTM95C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SKA3Cb3F
The tube size will be a range for example, this will fit your tyre as will this one. You also need to match the valve type, and the length of the valve in some cases.
Edit. Grammar and English version
hate flats, learn how to switch out tubes, saved me a lot of hopelessness and the gear required is pretty light to carry around.
