How To Buy Inner Bicycle Tubes?

You need to consider a couple of things prior to purchasing an inner bicycle tube 

• Types of Tube Valve 
• Tire Tube size
• Materials
• Puncture Protection

1. Types of TUBE VALVES 

Valves: There are two fundamental valves: Schrader and Presta. Schrader valves end up on lower pressure tires and are best inner tubes for mountain bikes. Schrader valves are more strong, generally utilized, and have a removable core

Presta valves have a slimmer stem and are generally found on higher pressing tubes, as on Road Bikes.Presta valves are simpler to pump than Schrader as they have no valve spring to survive.

2. Tire/Tube Size

You should check the tire size imprinted on the tire before you are purchasing the tube. The first number indicates the wheel diameter while the other one refers to width. For example, a common road tire size like 700x23c can use an inner tube labeled 700×20-25c or 700×20/25c

3. Materials: 

Most internal tubes are produced using butyl elastic or latex and have a thickness of about 1.5mm. Cheap tubes are heavier and have more rotational weight and somewhat seriously moving opposition. On the other side, they  give you more puncture resistant and are ideal for preparing rides. 

4. Puncture Protection 

There are different choices for Puncture protection valuable for workers and mountain bikers – Puncture sealants and tire liners being two mainstream alternatives.

They are reasonable for use with internal tube. The sealant is filled the inner tube and this rapidly seals small holes. 

Tire Liner

Its a meager portion of plastic that sits between the tire and the tube.It protects puncture from thorns and sharp objects.
