FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 0.9mm wall thickness?
The 0.9mm wall thickness offers a good balance between durability and weight savings, making it suitable for a wide range of riding conditions without being overly heavy.
Can I use this tube on a road bike?
This tube is designed for 26-inch tires typically found on mountain bikes, hybrids, and some older comfort bikes. It is generally too wide for standard 700c road bike tires, which usually require different tube sizes and often have Presta valves.
How do I know if this tube fits my tire?
Check the sidewall of your tire. This tube is designed for tires labeled as 26 x 1.75 up to 26 x 2.125 inches.
What type of pump do I need for this tube?
You need a pump with a Schrader valve head. This is the same type of valve found on most car tires.
Is the valve core removable?
Yes, this tube features a removable valve core, which allows for easier inflation and the potential to add sealant.
How should I store spare tubes?
Store spare tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing them in direct contact with sharp objects.
What does '100% inspected' mean for this tube?
It means that every single tube produced undergoes quality control checks to ensure it meets manufacturing standards and is free from defects before it is packaged and sold.
Troubleshooting
Tube won't hold air after installation
Check that the tube is not pinched between the tire bead and the rim. Ensure the valve stem is straight and properly seated in the rim hole. Inspect the tire and rim for any sharp objects or damage.
Difficulty inflating the tube
Verify that the Schrader valve is clean and free of debris. Ensure your pump's head is securely attached to the valve. If the valve core is stuck, gently try to unscrew it to release any obstruction, then re-tighten.
Frequent punctures
Inspect the inside of the tire carefully for embedded thorns, glass, or sharp objects. Check the rim tape for damage or misalignment, as this can cause spoke punctures. Consider using a tire liner for added protection in rough conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your tire is compatible with the tube size: 26 x 1.75-2.125 inches.
Slightly inflate the tube to give it a round shape. This makes it easier to seat inside the tire.
Place one bead of the tire onto the wheel rim.
Insert the tube into the tire, starting with the valve stem through the valve hole.
Carefully work the second tire bead onto the rim, ensuring the tube is not pinched between the tire bead and the rim.
Once the tire is fully seated, inflate to your desired pressure. Check the tire sidewall for recommended pressure ranges.
Compatibility:
Wheel Size: 26 inches
Tire Width Range: 1.75 to 2.125 inches
Valve Type: Schrader (standard car-type valve)
Important: Ensure your wheel rim has a Schrader valve hole and that your pump is compatible with Schrader valves.
Care:
Regularly check tire pressure before rides and maintain recommended levels for optimal performance and to prevent pinch flats.
Inspect the inside of your tire for sharp objects or debris that could cause punctures.
Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
