if my tire width is 2.1" then how wide should my bike tubes be?

Each tube has a minimum/maximum tire size. click select to see the different options. a 2.1 tire would be just under the max width of 2.2 which means the tube will expand almost fully before filling the cavity

Most tubes give a min max tire size. A 2.0 to a 2.25 would work fine for a 2.1 tire.

The tube should list the size range that it supports. The range should cover the size of your tire. So Presta, 26" X 1.75"/2.2" would fit 26" tires from 1.75 to 2.2 and would fit your tire. I love my Serfas tubes. They seem to hold air better than most, therefore I don't have to pump them up as often.

Look at the tire size that you will be putting it into. Buy a tube to fit the tire.Jim

I agree with Kristoffer. I have 26x1.95" tires on my bike and they say inflate to 45-60psi, so I tend to go around 55psi.

you need tires that are 26x2.i25 if you have a 26 inch bike.most tubes today will say on box.26x 1.75 to 2.125put a little air in tube,then put tube in tire to,install easy..if its late 50s could be 26x 1.75 make sure of 26-25 size wheel.make sure of your size.put wheel next to other size wheel on a other bike.keep riding!!

Hello,Yes your tire size is the right size. However if your bike does not have a quick release rear tire it will not fit the trainer. Thank you.

I purchased a 26 inch rim, and I use 26 x 2.125 tires, the tube is just a 26 inch, although I do add a puncture strip to the inside wall of the tire, and that helps with flats. As long as everything is 26 inch, you should have no problems. Hope this helped you out!

The measurement between the wheel loop is 3 1/2". 4" tires sound extremely wide. Most average mountain bike style tires are about 2-3". Did you physically measure your tires? Maybe you could let some air out and they would fit if they are that big. I'm very happy with the rack. Good luck!!

You need a 26 x 1.95 but a lot of tubes run 26 x 1.75-2.2 or something like that as long as the goes to 1.95 your fine, I got the slime tube at the same time I got the from amazon. The max psi is 65psi, that's what is stamped on the tire and the min is 40psi. I rode them on 40psi and they where fine and I filled them to 65psi and they where even better. If you get the slime tubes fill them a little bit until they are rounded before you put them on to help prevent pinching and then fill them with the valve opposite the ground and adjust the psi the same way to prevent the slime from blocking the valve and oozing out.

The main dimension is the 20", and will only fit a 20" rim. The second dimension 1.75"-2.125" is the width of the tire, some bikes have thinner rims (1.75" tires) and some bikes have wider rims (2.125" tires). This tire will fit both. In my opinion this tire is on the thin side.

Yes. It will fit. This rim will work for anything between 1.5 to 2.1 as long as the space between the cycle fork and brakes allows for wider tires. I tried a 2.1 before i settled back to what i prefer, a 1.75, for my riding conditions. But at 2.125 you need to know if the tire's beading will hold up to the extra stress.

not this one, this will fit into the existing 2" and convert to an 2" again. It's like having an extended 2" tube to fit a bike rack that uses 2" fitting.

Look on the tire's sidewall. The tire size will be there in raised lettering. You will find two numbers, something like 26x2.0 or 700x23. When you go to buy a tube, the first number on the tire (the 26 or the 700) and the first number of the tube size on the box must match exactly. The second number on the tube box will be a range, like 1.8-2.3 or 19-26. Your tire width must be within that range for the tube to fit.

I never measured the tire width...but I know it rubbed slightly under weight on the rear of my Marin (Marin says I can take up to a 2.2) so if your frame can take a 2.3/2.4 tire width in the back, you should be good. I actually glanced at the salsa website, didn't find any specifics, but the bikes in the photos I saw had some big tires on them, you should be safe I would think.

The age and gear set up of your bike has nothing to do with tire size. You need to measure the rim or existing tire to know if it'll fit.

Make sure it is a 26x2.1 you are trying to fit. A 26" tire will fit any 26" rim but you have to watch the width. A 1.75 will not fit a 2.1 so make sure you have the right width tire. Match with the numbers on the tire you are trying to replace, they will be on the side of the old tire.

go onto amazon or the web and print in mini bike tire, or tube, 12.5x2.75 look at the pictures, they should look like yours as this is your size,jack.

More than likely. The second number in the tire/tube size is the tire width. I can't see how one inch width would make a big difference.
