FAQs

What type of valve does this inner tube have?

This inner tube features a Dunlop valve.

Are these tubes suitable for all bikes?

No, these tubes are specifically designed for 26-inch wheels, commonly found on mountain bikes. They are not suitable for other wheel sizes.

What material are the inner tubes made from?

They are made from high-quality, durable butyl rubber.

How many inner tubes are included in this pack?

This pack contains two (2) inner tubes.

Can I use a standard bike pump with these tubes?

These tubes have a Dunlop valve. You will need a pump with a head compatible with Dunlop valves. Many universal pumps will work.

What does 'puncture resistance' mean for these tubes?

It means the material and construction are designed to resist being easily punctured by sharp objects commonly encountered on trails, offering greater reliability.

How do I know if my tyre is compatible?

Your tyre should be marked with a size that includes '26 inch', typically in a format like 26" x 1.75" or similar variations within the 1" to 3/8" range.

Troubleshooting

Inner tube won't inflate properly.

Ensure the pump head is securely attached to the Dunlop valve. Check that the valve core is not blocked or damaged.

Inner tube appears to be leaking air quickly.

Check for obvious punctures. Inspect the tyre's interior and the rim for sharp objects or damage. Ensure the valve stem is seated correctly and not pinched.

Tyre feels 'wobbly' after installation.

The inner tube may not be seated evenly within the tyre. Deflate slightly, ensure the tube is centered, and reinflate.

Difficulty fitting the tyre back onto the rim.

Ensure the inner tube is not trapped under the tyre bead. Deflate the tube slightly and use tyre levers carefully to avoid damaging the tube or rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These inner tubes are designed for 26-inch bicycle wheels. Ensure your tyre is also compatible with the size specification (26" x 1" - 3/8"). The valve type is Dunlop, which is less common than Schrader or Presta; confirm your pump has a compatible head.

Setup:

  1. Remove the wheel from your bicycle.
  2. Deflate the old inner tube completely.
  3. Carefully unseat one side of the tyre from the rim.
  4. Remove the old inner tube.
  5. Slightly inflate the new inner tube to give it shape.
  6. Insert the valve stem through the rim hole.
  7. Tuck the inner tube evenly into the tyre, ensuring it is not twisted.
  8. Reseat the tyre bead onto the rim, starting opposite the valve.
  9. Once the tyre is fully on the rim, inflate to the recommended pressure as indicated on your tyre sidewall.

Care:

  • Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Periodically check tyre pressure before rides.
  • Inspect the inside of the tyre for any sharp objects before installing a new tube.
