'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...
DA, have a read of this, there's a chart at the bottom with the iso numbers to convert the "s. http://www.ctc.org.uk/cyclists-library/components/wheels-tyres/tyre-sizes
What makes you think the '28' bit wouldn't fit the 28 ? Any where within a quarter (.25) difference will work. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
I generally use' Chain Reaction' for hard to get bike stuff. Just treated myself to 140 quids worth of Selle Italia saddle. Boootiful.
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.
