FAQs

What is the difference between Presta and Schrader valves?

Presta valves are narrower and designed for higher-pressure tires, commonly found on road bikes. Schrader valves are wider and often used on mountain bikes and cars. These Specialized tubes are for Presta valves.

How do I inflate a Presta valve?

Unscrew the valve cap, then unscrew the small nut at the top of the valve. Press down briefly to release any pressure. Attach the pump head, and inflate to the recommended PSI on your tire.

What does '700c' mean?

700c refers to the wheel size, a common size for road bikes and some hybrid bikes. The 'c' designation relates to an older French tire sizing system.

How often should I check my tire pressure?

It is recommended to check your tire pressure before each ride, and inflate the tire accordingly. Tires can lose pressure over time.

How do I know what valve length to choose?

Measure the depth of your rim. The valve stem should extend past the rim far enough to attach a pump.

Can I use these tubes with tubeless-ready tires?

These tubes are designed for use with standard tires. If you have tubeless-ready tires, you would typically use a tubeless setup.

How do I patch a punctured tube?

Locate the puncture, clean the area around it, roughen the tube with sandpaper, apply a patch with rubber cement, and let it dry before inflating the tire.

Troubleshooting

The tire loses air quickly.

Check the tire and tube for punctures. Locate the puncture, and either patch the tube or replace it. Also, inspect the valve for leaks.

The valve stem is too short for the rim.

You may have the wrong valve length. Replace the tube with one that has a longer valve stem.

The tube gets pinched during installation.

Ensure the tire bead is seated correctly on both sides of the rim, and carefully insert the tube without pinching it between the tire and rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Valve Length Selection: Before installation, ensure you have the correct valve length (32mm, 48mm, or 60mm) to match your rim depth. Measure your rim depth to determine which valve length is required.
  2. Tire Compatibility: These tubes are compatible with 700c tires. Check your tire sidewall for the correct size.
  3. Installation: When installing the new tube, partially inflate it before inserting it into the tire. This helps prevent pinching.
  4. Inflation: Use a pump designed for Presta valves. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
  5. Inspection: Regularly inspect the tires for cuts and wear. Check the inner tube for any damage during tire changes.
  6. Care: Store spare tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  7. Compatibility: The tubes are specifically designed for use with 700c tires and Presta valves.
