FAQs

Will this fit my bicycle?

No, this inner tube is specifically designed for strollers, pushchairs, and buggies with the listed tyre dimensions.

What is a Schrader valve?

A Schrader valve is the same type of valve found on car tyres, allowing for inflation using standard floor or hand pumps.

How do I know if I need a bent valve?

You need a bent valve if your wheel rim design makes it physically impossible to attach a pump head to a standard straight valve.

Can I use this for any tyre size?

No, only use this tube for the sizes listed: 255x50, 255x55, 255x60, 39-177, and 300x4.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Tyre levers are highly recommended to remove the tyre from the rim without damaging the plastic or alloy wheel structure.

Troubleshooting

The tube does not hold air after installation.

Check if the tube was pinched between the tyre bead and the rim during installation, or inspect the tyre casing for remaining sharp objects.

Difficulty reaching the valve for inflation.

The bent valve is designed to angle outwards; ensure the valve is oriented correctly through the rim hole to maximize clearance from the frame or spokes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with a wide range of common pushchair tyre sizes
  • Uses standard Schrader valve for easy maintenance
  • Bent valve design accommodates tight wheel hubs
  • Simple installation process

Cons

  • Not suitable for bicycles or larger scooters
  • Requires proper sizing check to avoid tube pinching
  • Does not include replacement tyre

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your wheel is removed from the pushchair frame. Use plastic tyre levers to pry the tyre edge away from the rim, being careful not to damage the plastic or metal rim. Once removed, check the new inner tube for structural integrity, inflate it with a few pumps of air, and tuck it carefully inside the tyre casing. When installing, ensure the valve stem is correctly seated through the valve hole in the rim. Always maintain the recommended tyre pressure indicated on the sidewall of your outer tyre to prevent future punctures or premature wear.
