How should I replace the inner tube of my road bike?
A road bike has thinner tyres than most other bikes, and so road bike tyres are more vulnerable and can puncture more easily. If you’re a road cyclist, you don't want a flat tyre to come at the expense of your ride. This is why it is important to learn how to replace your punctured inner tube yourself. Please refer to this blog, where we explain all the details. The gist is that it is not too difficult, provided you have the right tools. The blog also explains which tools you need to change your inner tube.
What size are my inner tubes?
When you start looking for a new set of inner tubes or a spare inner tube for your bike, you will soon discover that inner tubes come in different sizes. What size you need is often printed on the side of your tyre. It also has to do with your bike’s wheel size. So, if you have 28 inch wheels, you also need 28 inch inner tubes. On the category page you can easily filter on what size inner tube you need.
What material should I choose for my inner tubes?
You can choose inner tubes made of different types of materials. Most inner tubes are made of rubber, as are most of the inner tubes on our website. Latex and polyurethane are fairly new materials that are being used for inner tubes. Such inner tubes have the advantage of being much lighter, more flexible and more durable than traditional rubber inner tubes.
What valve length do I select for my inner tubes?
When you want to buy an inner tube, you can often select different valve lengths. This is because the valve is attached to your inner tube. The length of your valve depends on the height of the rim in your wheel. The higher the rims, the longer the valve of your inner tube must be. You can easily measure the rim height yourself by measuring the rim from any one spoke to the rim flange. The yardstick is that the valve should stick out at least 1.5 cm to leave enough clearance for the head of your bike pump. Valve lengths vary between 32 mm and 80 mm.
How best to inflate my inner tubes?
When you inflate your bike tyre, you are essentially pumping your inner tubes full of air to make your tyres harden. To what pressure (bar) you should inflate your inner tubes depends on the sort of bike and your personal preference. Want to learn more about this? Read this blog.
