Road Bike Inner Tubes

Road bike inner tubes are characterized by their thin and narrow valves, unlike mountain bike inner tubes, which have wider valves.

For road tires, a bike inner tube with a Presta valve is used: these valves are thin and close with a screw system. They also have the advantage of being lightweight.

For mountain bikes, Schrader valves, which are wider and sturdier, are used, as well as Presta valves.

The sizes of bike inner tubes are generally 700x18 and 700x25.

Bike Inner Tube - FAQ

What is the purpose of a bike inner tube?

The inner tube is an extremely important part of the bicycle. It is inserted into the tire above the wheel rim. When inflated, the tube keeps the tire under tension so that it can withstand the pressure generated by the rider's weight.

How do I choose my inner tube?

Several criteria must be considered when choosing an inner tube. You need to know the size of the wheel and the width of the rim into which the tube will be inserted. For example, a tube sized 700x25 means it is designed for a wheel with a 700 mm diameter and a 25 mm width. There are two main types of valves: Presta and Schrader. The Presta valve is the most commonly used. You should pay special attention to the valve size. It must fit perfectly into the hole in the wheel designed for it.

Which inner tube should I choose for a road bike?

Generally, road bike tires, and thus the inner tubes, have a width between 23 and 28 mm. The smaller contact surface provides better performance. However, the downside is a loss of stability.

Which material should I choose?

There are different materials available on the market. You can choose between latex tubes (best performance, but require frequent inflation) or butyl tubes (better performance, less maintenance).

When should I replace a bike inner tube?

Clearly, if a tube has a hole, it must be replaced or repaired. You will need the right materials for this. If your tube doesn't have a hole but needs to be inflated more frequently, this could be a sign of wear. Over time, the tube can lose its airtightness.

Where can I find the right inner tube?
