Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Ensure the inner tube is compatible with your 26" mountain bike tires, specifically those within the 1.75" - 2.20" width range. Check your tire sidewall for size information.
Installation: When installing, partially inflate the tube to give it shape. Carefully insert the tube into the tire, ensuring the tube is not pinched between the tire and the rim. Start from the valve stem and work your way around the tire.
Inflation: Use a pump suitable for Presta valves. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure indicated on your tire sidewall.
Care: Regularly inspect your tires for cuts or abrasions. Protect tubes from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when storing. Avoid using excessive force during inflation, and always use a pump with a pressure gauge.
