You bet... you'll need a 26x1.25 tube. I went cheap and bought some at Wal Mart not knowing how much I'd like the tires (thinking sunk costs). When you put the tires on, you might find that they are a tight fit around the rim and that the tube seems to crimp when you first lay it inside the tire. Not sure if the crimping corrects itself when you inflate the tire; thus far I've had no problems after 60+ miles of riding on 'em.Hope that helps,CT

You need a 27 x 1 1/4 not a 700c like these. These tires won't fit your rim at all. The rest doesn't matter because they won't fit in the first place..

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.

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

They seem more of a road tire. I'm sure they'll work, but not as aggressive or thick as a mtn bike tire.

I have had trouble in the past with getting the tires to fit a small rim....they are wide. I would encourage trying it out at a bike shop first before ordering them. I was able to get them on my bike but mine were 700x28c. That is the smallest I think i would go. They were somewhat difficult to fit....and barely did at that!

Just Curious- If you want a tube for a 26x2.35 tire you need a tube that is 26x(range includes 2.35). Amazon's search engine will send you on a wild goose chase if you let it. This tube is not right for your tire. Jim

Just installed on cruiser bike with 26" tires-looks good. Also looks too big for 24".? Never tried but advise against using on 24... Try looking for your size 24" fenders on bike model, web-site. Yeah, these are too big. They would scratch frame or you would have to tweak fenders to fit. Ask your bike shop mechanic what to try.

I'm running 700x25, I think you could get away with a 700x30. Refer to http://www.biketiresdirect.com/tire-width-article, these rims are 14mm inside width; according to the chart in the article, you should be okay as long as your frame allows.

Those tires you mentioned are too big for the size I bought. The chain is great for your application, just get the right size. ( see the manufacturer size chart)

I cant seem to locate your order. Did you purchase them from on and offroad parts? It has been almost a year. I dont think I would be able to get a tire warranted still.Thanks,Greg

Here is the long answer that should tell you everything you need to know about tubes and tires. First off, let's decode some of the numbers. 700C or 29" are both the rim size ISO 622 (that is 622mm in diameter where the bead of the tire seats on the rim). When you're looking at road tires, they're more likely to say 700C (from an old French system of naming tire/rim sizes) and when you're looking at mountain tires, they're more likely to say 29". Occasionally, some European tires, especially Continental, will try to confuse the matter by calling them 28" - but look fir the 622 to be sure of the size. 23/25 or 18-23 on a tube indicate a range of tire widths with which the tube is compatible. Since an 18mm wide tire has a much smaller cross section than a 25mm tire (just imagine those as the diameter of a circle), a tube designed to fit a 25mm tire can be much too big for an 18mm tire. In that case you'd risk getting the tube folded on iteself or pinched under the tire's bead - both of which can cause a flat. So, when selecting a tube, you should get the narrowest range that will fit. If you had a 23mm wide tire, 18/23 would be a better choice than 23/25, though both will be better than a 28/32, for example. The 48 or 42 mm length listed below is the length of the presta stem. Different manufacturers measure stems differently, so it's hard to get an accurate comparison, but a 32 will be shorter than a 42 will be shorter than a 60 and so on. You just need 12-15mm of stem to stick beyond the rim so you can get a pump onto it, though, for some people, a little extra length isn't a bother. If you've got a deep rim, you'll need a longer valve stem. But if the 48mm stick through with plenty of extra, a 42 is a safe choice. ORDER ROAD RACE TUBE. Thus is your present tire is a 25, I would get the 20-25 tube, less chance of the tube folding over or pinching it because it is too big. Hope all of this information is useful in the future.

I use Conti 4000S 700 x 25 tires and use a Conti Race 28 tube. No flats in 3200 miles.

Your welcome. I build custom bikes and use to do maint. write-ups for my club's news letter,learned the hard way and enjoy helping people. You may still get a pinch flat as this happens when something pushes the tube into the rim. Overall, the liners work. Hope you ride with your kids. BOL.

ISO, the International Organization for Standardization long ago developed a universal tire sizing system that eliminates wheel & tire size confusion. But that does not stop inventive marketing A 27x1-1/4 is a 630 mm tire used on most older 10 speed bicycles in the 1980 and before. A 700x38 is a 622 mm tire that is wide, most sports styled bicycles since 1980 use a 700x23/25 tire size. &lt;--recent marketing term 29er is for wider tires fitted to 622 rims, sometimes marked with a French Size 28 A 650c Triathlon, time trial, and small road bikes is 571 mm. A 650B tire is a French size being revived - 584 mm &lt;--using long reach brakes these are are being put on hybrids & sports style bicycles that do not offer the room for tires wider than 25, nor any room for fenders. If your old tire is labeled 27x1-1/8 or 27x1-1/4 you have a 630 rim and need that size tire, Get the 1-1/8 if you are a light weight rider, or the 1-1/4 diameter if heavier, also it has more air volume for softer ride.
