Inner Tubes - Diamondback Sorrento XCT

[PurelyRetro]

Evening all,

I'm a bit of nob when it comes to knowing basics about mountain bikes. However, I was wondering how can I can find about what suitable size tubing will suit my bike?

Cheers

Look on the side of the tyre..it will say eg..26x2.1, 26 is the tyre diameter and 2.1 is the tyre width...an inner tube do widths from 1.75 - 2.125 so they fit pretty much most common tyre sizes.

Don't forget to get the right sort of valve.

Presta valves are the skinny little ones with a screw-open top bit.
Schraeder valves are the car type ones.

Presta tubes will fit in rims designed for schraeder but not vice versa.
