Bike tyres...

'Ello.

Got myself a 'new' hybrid-style bike a couple of months back and it currently runs on skinny 'road' tyres size 622-28 also known as 28-1.25 I believe. Also possibly known as 29er too?

Bought wider tyres for it - 622-50, or 28-2".

But cannot get matching tubes to suit. Cannot find tubes to fit. A complete maze of tube sizes out there which has thoroughly confused me - what fluffin' size do I need?

I have looked, really I have. Every bludy tube on eBay has been checked. Nadda.

Ta muchly

 

Thanks Phil - that's the one, is it?

Why are these figures so bludy confusing and seemingly contradictory...

 

It worked...

 

Phil - will 28 x 1.75/2.125 fit? Ie - the '28' bit?

Thanks.

 

Well, my new bike is a decent enough Ridgeback Velocity with a 27" frame (yes - the saddle is set to its lowest ) - and it cost me less than half your seat .


I wouldn't necessarily call these tubes 'hard to get'. They are more 'hard to understand'...

 

I think it'll work Mr Ha, but in the world of bike tyres, 28 is not always the same as 28.

Thanks for that link, Phil, but I'm still a bit confused.

Anyways, I'm trying to get clarification from the actual sellers of the tubes.

Ta all.

 

Many thanks, J'59 - that seems to be the jobbie

Which seems to be similar to 700-50 - so thanks too Phil.
