Product Information

Full details

This heavy-duty inner tube is for owners of equipment with 6-inch wheels requiring specific tire sizes such as 145x70-6, 145x7.00-6, 4.00x5.00-6, 700-6, 400-6, or 450-65. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable, durable seal for your tire, ensuring smooth operation, with a minor consideration being the specific bent valve angle which may affect inflation access in some tight spaces.

FAQs

What does '145x70-6' mean for tire size?

It refers to the tire's dimensions: approximately 145mm wide, with a 70% aspect ratio (sidewall height is 70% of width), designed for a 6-inch rim diameter.

Is this inner tube suitable for all 6-inch rims?

It is suitable for 6-inch rims that are designed to accommodate tire sizes listed, such as 145x70-6, and have a standard valve stem hole.

Can I use this tube if my tire size is slightly different, like 150x70-6?

While there might be some flexibility, it's best to match the tire size as closely as possible for optimal fit and performance. This tube is specifically designed for the listed sizes.

What is a Schrader valve?

A Schrader valve is the standard type of valve used on car tires, bicycles, and many other pneumatic applications. It's characterized by a single pin in the center of the valve stem.

How do I know if my current tube needs replacing?

Signs include frequent deflation, visible damage like cracks or bulges, or if the tube is old and brittle. If you suspect a leak, try submerging the inflated tube in water to find bubbles.

Does the bent valve make a difference in performance?

The bent valve primarily affects convenience during inflation. It does not typically alter the fundamental performance of the inner tube itself, but it can make maintenance easier.

What is the warranty on this inner tube?

Information regarding warranty is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official documentation for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Inner tube will not inflate

Ensure the valve cap is removed and the Schrader valve core is functional. Check that the tire is properly seated on the rim and not pinching the valve stem.

Inner tube loses air quickly

Check for punctures in the inner tube or damage to the tire. Ensure the valve stem is not leaking. Verify the tire bead is properly sealed against the rim.

Tire feels uneven or bumpy

Check that the inner tube is evenly seated within the tire and not bunched up. Ensure the tire pressure is correct and consistent.

Valve stem difficult to access with pump

The bent valve is designed for easier access, but if significant difficulty persists, ensure you are using an appropriate pump connector for a Schrader valve.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the outer tire and 6-inch wheel rim are clean and free of debris.
  2. Deflate the old inner tube completely.
  3. Carefully remove the old inner tube from the tire.
  4. Lightly inflate the new PetrolScooter inner tube to give it shape.
  5. Insert the bent valve stem through the valve hole in the rim.
  6. Tuck the rest of the tube evenly into the tire, ensuring it is not twisted.
  7. Mount the tire onto the rim, checking that the tube is not pinched between the tire bead and the rim.
  8. Inflate the tube to the recommended tire pressure specified for your equipment and tire.

Compatibility:

This inner tube is compatible with tires and rims that match the following specifications:

  • Tire Sizes: 145x70-6, 145x7.00-6, 4.00x5.00-6, 700-6, 400-6, or 450-65.
  • Rim Size: 6 inches.
  • Valve Type: Schrader (Car Type).

Care:

  • Regularly check tire pressure and inflate as needed. Under-inflation can damage the tube and tire.
  • Inspect the tire for damage or foreign objects that could puncture the inner tube.
  • Keep the valve cap on when not inflating to protect the valve.
  • Avoid exposing the tube to excessive heat or harsh chemicals.
