Product Information

Full details

The PetrolScooter Inner Tube 255 x 50 is an essential maintenance component for parents and caregivers looking to restore smooth mobility to their strollers, prams, and buggies. It is specifically engineered to fit a variety of small-diameter pneumatic wheels, providing reliable air retention for daily use. While it is highly compatible with specified sizes, users must ensure their existing tire size matches the 255x50, 255x55, 255x60, 39-177, or 34 specifications before installation.

FAQs

What type of pump do I need for this tube?

This tube uses a standard Schrader valve, which is the same type found on most bicycles and cars. Any standard manual or electric bicycle pump will work.

Does this package include the tire casing?

No, this product is the replacement inner tube only. The rubber tire casing is sold separately.

How do I know if this fits my stroller?

Check the text printed on the side of your current tire. If it says 255x50, 255x55, 255x60, 39-177, or 34, this tube will be compatible.

Why is the valve bent?

The bent valve is specifically designed for smaller wheels where space is limited, making it much easier to attach a pump nozzle without it rubbing against the rim.

Can I use this on a solid plastic wheel?

No, this tube is only for pneumatic (air-filled) tires. It will not work on solid, foam, or plastic wheels.

Troubleshooting

Tube loses pressure quickly after installation

Check the inside of the tire casing for sharp objects like thorns or glass shards that might be causing a puncture in the new tube.

Difficulty inflating the tire

Ensure the valve is properly seated in the rim hole and use a pump with a secure locking head to prevent air leakage during inflation.

Inner tube does not fit correctly

Verify that your tire sidewall specifically indicates one of the compatible sizes: 255x50, 255x55, 255x60, 39-177, or 34.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with a wide range of common pram and buggy tire sizes
  • Bent valve design allows for easier inflation in tight wheel spaces
  • Uses standard Schrader valve system compatible with most pumps
  • Helps restore original ride quality and shock absorption

Cons

  • Requires tire removal to install, which can be time-consuming
  • Not compatible with solid (puncture-proof) wheel systems
  • Specific tire size verification is mandatory before purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this inner tube, first deflate any remaining air in the old tube and use a tire lever to pry one edge of the tire off the rim. Remove the old tube, inspect the inside of the tire casing for thorns or debris that may have caused the previous puncture, and insert the new PetrolScooter tube. Ensure the bent valve is aligned correctly with the rim hole before inflating. To maintain the tube's health, avoid riding over sharp glass or debris and check tire pressure once a month, as small stroller tires lose pressure more rapidly than automotive tires.
