Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tube is compatible with 26-inch tires with widths between 1.5 and 2.4 inches. When installing, ensure the interior of your tire casing is free from debris, thorns, or glass that could cause an immediate puncture. Use a high-quality tire lever to seat the bead carefully to avoid pinching the tube during installation. Check your tire sidewall for the manufacturer's recommended pressure range and inflate accordingly. To maintain the life of the tube, periodically check the valve core for tightness and inspect your tires for embedded sharp objects after every long ride.
