FAQs
What does 'Presta Valve' mean?
A Presta valve is a type of bicycle valve with a small locknut at the top. It's typically found on higher-end bikes and requires the locknut to be unscrewed before inflation and deflating. The 35mm length refers to the stem's length from the inner tube to the tip of the valve.
How do I know if this tube fits my tire?
This tube is designed for 26-inch diameter wheels with tire widths between 1.75 and 2.20 inches. Check the sidewall of your tire for its diameter and width markings.
Can I use this tube with a Schrader valve rim?
No, this tube has a Presta valve and is designed for rims with Presta valve holes. Using it with a Schrader hole will not create a proper seal and will likely result in a flat.
What is the primary material used in this inner tube?
The tube is made from top-quality butyl rubber, known for its excellent air-holding capabilities and durability.
Is this tube suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, this tube is suitable for general riding, including light trail use on mountain bikes with 26-inch wheels and compatible tire widths. For extreme or aggressive mountain biking, consider tubes specifically designed for those conditions.
Where are Panaracer inner tubes made?
Panaracer inner tubes are made in Japan.
Troubleshooting
Tube won't inflate
Ensure the Presta valve core is unscrewed slightly before attempting to inflate. Check that the valve stem is straight and not obstructed.
Inner tube is flat shortly after inflation
Carefully inspect the tire (inside and out) and rim for any sharp objects or damage. Ensure the tube was not pinched between the tire bead and the rim during installation.
Difficulty fitting tube into tire
Ensure the tube is only slightly inflated to give it shape, not fully inflated. Make sure the tire bead is seated correctly on the rim before fully inflating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This specific model is designed for 26-inch diameter wheels with tire widths ranging from 1.75 to 2.20 inches. It features a Presta valve with a 35mm length, suitable for most standard rims. Always confirm your existing tube's valve type and length, and tire width compatibility before purchasing.
Setup:
- Ensure the tire is completely deflated.
- Partially inflate the new inner tube to give it a slight round shape.
- Insert the valve stem through the valve hole in the rim.
- Carefully tuck the tube into the tire, working your way around the wheel.
- Ensure the tube is not twisted.
- Mount the tire onto the rim, starting opposite the valve.
- Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure found on the tire sidewall.
Care: Inspect the inside of the tire for sharp objects before installing a new tube. Periodically check tire pressure to ensure optimal performance and to prevent pinch flats. Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
