What size tires does this tube fit?
This inner tube is designed for 700c tires with a width between 32mm and 50mm (32-50C).
What type of valve does this tube have?

How do I find the correct tire pressure?
The recommended tire pressure is printed on the sidewall of your tire. Always check before each ride.
Can I use this tube with a Presta valve rim?

How often should I check my tire pressure?

Troubleshooting
Tire deflates quickly.
Check for punctures in the tube. Locate the puncture by listening for air leaks or submerging the inflated tube in water. Patch or replace the tube as needed.
Valve leaks air.
Tighten the valve core with a valve core tool. If the leak persists, the valve core may need to be replaced.
Difficulty inflating the tire.
Ensure the valve stem is properly seated in the rim. Make sure your pump head is securely attached to the Schrader valve. If the pump is still not working, try a different pump.
