Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit a 12.5-inch tyre?

Yes, this tube is designed for 12-inch range tyres including standard 12 x 2.125 and 12 x 2.35 sizes.

What kind of pump do I need?

This tube uses a standard Schrader valve, which is the same type found on car tyres and most bicycles.

Can I use this for a bicycle?

This tube is specifically engineered for stroller and pram wheels; while it may fit some kids' bike wheels of the same size, it is optimized for the load requirements of buggies.

Why is the valve bent?

The bent valve is a functional design choice to provide easier access to the valve stem on small-diameter wheels where the hub might otherwise obstruct a straight pump head.

Should I replace the tyre at the same time?

If your tyre tread is bald or shows signs of cracking, it is highly recommended to replace the outer tyre to prevent immediate repeat punctures.

Troubleshooting

Tube will not hold air after installation

Check if the tube was pinched between the tyre bead and the rim during installation, or if there is remaining debris inside the outer tyre.

Difficulty inflating the tube

Ensure the valve core is tightened correctly and check that your pump head is securely pressed onto the Schrader valve.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Bent valve design allows for easier inflation in tight spaces
  • Uses a standard Schrader valve compatible with most pumps
  • High-quality construction for long-term durability
  • Perfect fit for standard 12-inch pram and buggy tyres

Cons

  • Not compatible with 10-inch or 14-inch wheels
  • Requires proper removal of the old tube to avoid installation damage
  • Inner tubes are puncture-prone if tyres are worn down

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the tyre is fully deflated and removed from the rim using tyre levers if necessary. Inspect the inside of the outer tyre casing for any thorns, glass, or debris that may have caused a previous puncture before inserting the new tube. Slightly inflate the new tube before placing it inside the tyre to prevent bunching. Once seated, push the bent valve through the rim hole and inflate slowly, checking that the bead of the tyre is seated evenly around the rim. Always maintain the recommended PSI for your specific stroller model to extend the lifespan of the rubber.
