Size of tubes for 2.3 tires
Hello, I wonder if the size of tubes vary in other aspects than their diameter( 26 inches ). I have 2.3 Hutchinson Scorpion tires on my bike, what kind of tubes should I use? ( new bike new tires, I'm not used to such big tire footprint ). Thanks in advance Erling |

IRC makes a really ample "downhill" 26x2.2~3.0 tube that measures a whopping 73mm/2.8" folded flat! -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Take the ends off and cut the cylindrical side into an appropriately shaped piece. Two wraps around the seat post should do it.YMMV. Ummm, huh? Bill "aluminum can tire liners, on the other hand..."

Sorry for the error..The aluminum can is for a seat post shim and was posted
