Product Information
Full details
The Schwalbe SV7 Inner Tube is designed for cyclists using 20-inch wheeled bicycles, such as folding bikes or children's models, who require a reliable, long-lasting solution for air retention. Known for its consistent wall thickness and high-quality rubber compound, this tube offers excellent durability and has been tested through millions of installations. The main caveat to note is that it features a 40mm Presta valve, which may require an adapter for those accustomed to Schrader-style pumps at standard gas stations.

Troubleshooting
Tube loses pressure immediately after inflation
Check for a 'pinch flat' caused by the tube getting caught between the tire bead and the rim during installation.
Valve leaks air while trying to inflate
Ensure the valve core is tightened securely and that the pump head is firmly seated on the Presta valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your tire size is within the 20 x 1.50-2.40 range to prevent over-stretching or pinching.
- Check the inside of your tire casing for debris like thorns or glass shards before inserting the new tube.
- Lightly inflate the tube so it takes a round shape before placing it inside the tire.
- Seat the tire bead onto the rim carefully, using tire levers if necessary, while being cautious not to pinch the tube against the rim edge.
- Inflate to the recommended PSI listed on your tire sidewall.
For care, store spare tubes in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and chemicals, which can cause the rubber to degrade over time.
