FAQs

What tyre sizes does this inner tube fit?

This inner tube is designed for tyre sizes 255x50, 255x55, 255x60, or 39-177.

What type of valve does this inner tube have?

It features a Schrader valve, which is the same type used on car tires. It also has a bent angle for potentially easier access during inflation.

How do I know if I need this specific inner tube?

You need this inner tube if your stroller, pushchair, pram, or buggy has a wheel tyre size matching one of the specified dimensions (255x50, 255x55, 255x60, or 39-177) and requires a bent Schrader valve.

Can I use this inner tube with any stroller?

No, this inner tube is only compatible with strollers and similar mobility devices that use the specific tyre sizes listed (255x50, 255x55, 255x60, or 39-177).

What are the inner and outer diameters of this tube?

The inner diameter is 96 mm (3.78 inches) and the outer diameter is 190 mm (7.48 inches).

Do I need special tools to install this inner tube?

While not strictly required, tyre levers can be very helpful for safely removing and installing the tyre onto the rim. Basic hand strength is also needed.

Where can I find my stroller's tyre size?

The tyre size is typically printed on the sidewall of the tyre itself. It usually appears as a series of numbers and letters, such as '255x50'.

Troubleshooting

Tube won't inflate

Ensure the Schrader valve is properly seated and not damaged. Check that the valve core is not clogged or stuck. Use a compatible pump.

Tube loses air quickly after inflation

Inspect the inner tube for punctures, especially around the valve stem. Check the tyre for any remaining sharp objects or debris that may have caused the initial puncture. Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim.

Difficulty fitting the tube into the tyre

Ensure the inner tube is only slightly inflated, just enough to hold its shape. Double-check that the tyre size is compatible with the inner tube. Use tyre levers carefully if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Ensure your existing tyre size matches one of the following: 255x50, 255x55, 255x60, or 39-177.
  • Verify the valve type needed is a Schrader (car-type) valve with a bent angle.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Carefully remove the wheel from the stroller/pushchair.
  2. Deflate any remaining air from the old inner tube (if applicable).
  3. Gently pry the tyre off the rim, starting on one side. A tyre lever may be helpful here.
  4. Remove the old inner tube.
  5. Inspect the inside of the tyre for any sharp objects or debris that caused the original puncture.
  6. Slightly inflate the new inner tube so it holds its shape.
  7. Insert the new inner tube into the tyre, ensuring the valve stem aligns with the valve hole in the rim.
  8. Carefully seat the tyre back onto the rim, working your way around.
  9. Inflate the inner tube to the recommended pressure for your stroller, typically indicated on the tyre sidewall or in the stroller's manual.

Care:

  • Periodically check tyre pressure to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature wear.
  • Inspect the tyre and tube for signs of damage or wear.
  • Keep the valve cap on to protect the valve from dirt and moisture.
