Product Information

Full details

The Continental Tour Inner Tube is designed for road bike tourers and daily commuters who prioritize reliability and ease of maintenance over weight savings. Constructed from high-quality butyl rubber, it provides excellent air retention and puncture resistance for long-distance riding, though its robust construction makes it heavier than performance-oriented latex or ultra-light tubes.

FAQs

Does this tube fit my 700x35c tire?

Yes, this tube is compatible with tires ranging from 700x32c to 700x47c.

Can I use a Presta pump with this tube?

No, this tube features a Schrader valve. You would need a Schrader-compatible pump or a Presta-to-Schrader adapter.

What is the valve length?

This model comes with a 40mm long Schrader valve.

Is this suitable for mountain bikes?

It is designed for 700c road/touring/hybrid wheels. It will not fit standard 26-inch, 27.5-inch, or 29-inch mountain bike tires.

How often should I check the air pressure?

Butyl tubes are excellent at holding air, but it is recommended to check pressure before every ride to ensure safety and performance.

Troubleshooting

Tube loses pressure rapidly after installation

Check the tire casing for any remaining glass, thorns, or debris that may have caused the initial flat.

Difficulty inflating the tube

Ensure the valve core is seated correctly and that your pump head is fully pressed down onto the Schrader valve.

Pinch flat occurring immediately

Verify that no part of the tube is trapped between the tire bead and the rim wall before inflating to full pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability for long-distance touring
  • Easy to inflate with standard Schrader-compatible pumps
  • Consistent and reliable air pressure retention
  • High-quality butyl rubber compound

Cons

  • Heavier than lightweight or racing-specific tubes
  • Limited to Schrader-compatible rims or requires an adapter
  • Not suitable for extremely narrow racing tires

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed using tire levers if the tire fit is tight, taking care not to pinch the tube against the rim. The 40mm Schrader valve is compatible with most standard bicycle pumps and automotive air compressors found at gas stations. To maintain the tube's longevity, ensure your tire pressure is set according to the markings on your tire sidewall to avoid pinch flats. When storing a spare, keep it in a cool, dark place inside a plastic bag to prevent oxidation or damage from sharp objects in your saddlebag.
