mods Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've just been out riding in the extreme heat for a few hours. Had an amazing ride did nearly everything bigger. Was ace! I like to think i'm a very smooth riding, but the way my 'good ride' was going i went a bit too big for my ability and got a pinch. Basically i want to know if i can just use a tesco 20" tube on my 19" rim. I'm not bother if they are weak it's very rare for me to pinch cheers.

Captain Scarlet Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Yep, standard 20 inch inner tubes are fine in 19" wheels. The only disadvantage they have over say a Monty innertube or Kenda DH is that they are wider, so the standard innertube being thinner, has to expand more to fill the width of a 2.5/2.6 tyre, which makes the tube a bit thinner due to this stretch. Long and short. Standard 20" innertubes are slightly thinner than monty ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
