FAQs
What type of valve does this inner tube have?
This inner tube features a Presta valve, which is common on road bikes.
Is this inner tube suitable for mountain bikes?
No, this 700mm inner tube with a Presta valve is specifically designed for road bike wheels and is not suitable for mountain bike wheels.
What does 'supplied deflated' mean?
It means the inner tube will arrive empty of air and needs to be inflated with a pump before it can be installed and used.
How do I know if this 700mm tube will fit my wheel?
This is a standard size for 700c road bike wheels. Ensure your tire's stated size is compatible with a 700mm inner tube.
Can I use this tube for touring?
While the puncture resistance is beneficial, this tube is optimized for racing. For heavy touring, some riders may prefer thicker tubes with Schrader valves, depending on their wheel setup.
What material is the tube made of?
The inner tube is made of butyl rubber.
Troubleshooting
Tube will not inflate.
Ensure the Presta valve locknut is loosened and that your pump head is securely attached and compatible with Presta valves.
Inner tube deflates quickly after installation.
Check for punctures by listening for hissing air or submerging the inflated tube in water. Also, ensure the tire bead is properly seated and there are no sharp objects protruding through the tire casing. Verify the valve stem is not damaged.
Tube pinches during installation.
Slightly inflate the tube before installation to give it shape. Ensure the tire is fully seated on the rim before inflating to maximum pressure. Be careful not to trap the tube between the tire bead and the rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

- Avoid over-inflating the tire, as this can cause damage to the tube and tire.
