FAQs

What tire sizes is this tube compatible with?

This tube is designed for 29-inch mountain bike tires with an ETRTO size of 47/622 and a width range of 1.75 to 2.5 inches.

What type of valve does this tube have?

It features a Presta valve, which is common on performance bicycles and has a narrower diameter than a Schrader valve.

How do I know if my tire is the correct size?

Check the sidewall of your tire for the ETRTO size, which should read '47-622' or similar, and the width in inches (e.g., 29 x 2.1).

Is this tube suitable for road bikes?

No, this tube is specifically designed for mountain bike tires and may not fit correctly or perform optimally on road bike wheels.

What is the weight of this inner tube?

The inner tube weighs approximately 200 grams.

Can I use this tube with a tubeless-ready rim?

This is a standard inner tube. While it can be used in a tubeless-ready rim with the appropriate sealant and rim tape, it is not a tubeless-specific product.

Troubleshooting

Tube won't inflate

Ensure the Presta valve core is not loose and that your pump is correctly attached to the valve.

Rapid air loss

Check for pinches between the tire and rim, or for a puncture. Inspect the inside of the tire for sharp objects.

Tube feels lumpy or uneven

This may indicate an improperly seated tube or tire. Deflate and re-seat the tube and tire carefully.

Valve stem damage

Ensure the valve stem is protected during inflation and is not being stressed. Replace the tube if the stem is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This inner tube is specifically designed for 29-inch mountain bike wheels. Ensure your tire's ETRTO size is 47/622 and its width is between 1.75 and 2.5 inches. The valve type is Presta.

Setup:

  1. Slightly inflate the tube to give it a round shape before installation.
  2. Place one bead of the tire onto the rim.
  3. Insert the valve through the valve hole in the rim.
  4. Carefully fit the inner tube into the tire carcass, ensuring it is not twisted.
  5. Install the second tire bead onto the rim.
  6. Check that the tube is not pinched between the tire bead and the rim.
  7. Inflate the tire to the desired pressure, checking for even seating of the beads.

Care: Regularly check tire pressure before rides. Inspect the tube for signs of wear or damage during tire changes. Store spare tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
