Product Information
Full details
The TIGER CYCLES Inner Tube is an essential maintenance component for hybrid, commuter, and utility cyclists using 700c wheels. Designed for reliability and ease of inflation, it provides a perfect fit for tires ranging from 35c to 47c in width. While it offers excellent durability for everyday riding, it is important to confirm your rim's valve hole compatibility, as this model features a 48mm Schrader valve which is not interchangeable with Presta valve setups.

FAQs
Will this fit a 29-inch mountain bike tire?
No, this tube is specifically sized for 700c tires. While 700c and 29-inch wheels share the same bead seat diameter, the width range of this tube (35-47c) is typically too narrow for standard mountain bike tires.
Can I use this in a 32c tire?
No, this tube is designed for 35c to 47c widths. Using it in a 32c tire may cause the tube to bunch up, leading to a high risk of flats.
Does this tube come with a valve cap?
Yes, standard plastic valve caps are typically included to keep debris out of the valve mechanism.
What is the Schrader valve advantage?
Schrader valves are very common, sturdy, and allow you to use air compressors found at gas stations if you are caught without a portable pump.
How often should I replace my inner tube?
You should replace the tube if it has multiple patches, shows signs of dry rot, or if the rubber becomes porous and loses air consistently.
Troubleshooting
Tube loses pressure quickly after installation
Check for pinch flats that may have occurred during installation or inspect the rim tape for any exposed metal edges.
Valve does not fit through rim hole
Ensure your rim is drilled for a Schrader (wider) valve rather than a Presta (narrow) valve.
Difficulty inflating the tire to target pressure
Ensure the pump head is fully seated on the Schrader valve and that the internal valve pin is not depressed or stuck.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Compatible with a wide range of common hybrid tire sizes (35-47c)
- Schrader valve makes inflation easy with automotive-style pumps
- Reliable air retention for daily use
- Standardized 48mm valve length fits most alloy and steel rims
Cons
- Not compatible with Presta-specific rims
- Heavier than lightweight racing inner tubes
- Requires proper rim tape to prevent pinch flats
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, follow these guidelines for installation and maintenance:
- Check Rim Compatibility: Verify that your rim is drilled for a Schrader valve. If your rim is currently set up for Presta, this tube will not fit without modification.
- Inspect the Tire: Before installation, run your fingers carefully along the inside of your tire casing to remove any thorns, glass, or debris that might cause a flat.
- Seating the Tube: Inflate the tube just enough to give it shape before inserting it into the tire to prevent twists or pinches.
- Pressure Check: Always inflate to the recommended PSI range printed on the sidewall of your tire, not the tube itself.
- Storage: Store unused tubes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals to prevent the rubber from degrading.
