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.

I believe these tires are little to wide to fit on your bike. If nothing else, it is a good idea to replace tubes.

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.

It is the measure of the tire from the edge of the rim to it's most outer point (http://www.bicycledesigner.com/bicycle_wheels_tires.html). While the rim width will also impact the final size of the tire, increasing from 1.95 to 2.0 would increase the width and total volume of air in the tire. General .05 is not a significant enough change to affect the tube size.

1.5 inches... if your putting bigger tires on I wouldn't go bigger than 32's

It's not the rim you have to worry about its the clearance of your fork. If the 1.75 is close to rubbing the fork then the 2.10 will be too big. I have used larger tires (2.10,2.25) on the same rim the 2.10 refers to the width of the tire at the tread.

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 1 3/8 refers to the width, so a 2.1 will be a wider tire than your 1 3/8. 2.1 is fairly standard, and 1 3/8 is a thin tire. This may or may not be a problem depending on the size of your rim (wheel). If it's a mountain bike, you're probably fine. If you're trying to put this tire on a road bike, it may not work. You will probably need to get a new tube, though...one that measures 26 / 2.1.

Yes, they will fit with 26" x 1.95" tires I have them on a suspension bike with 2.1" tires but they are a neet fit.

It depends on the size of your handlebars really. I have 1" tubes on my Kawasaki Versys and it fits just fine. It does come with a rubber spacer that will take up any space for a nice snug fit.

My tires are 26 X 2.1. They are working fine. I had not trusted the rubber ties that came with the fenders so I placed enough plastic ties on the to hold them in place and they haven't come off. My bike has disc brakes front and rear. I had to take the fender holder on the front forks off because it would cause the tire to rub the fender. I hope this helps.

I had put ~1700 miles on the stock tires before they badly needed replacing. I replaced them with 700x23C Continental tires. I forgot which type but they have been the best tires I've had. As for tubes I just get 700x23C presta with 48mm stem

There is usually a range of tubes that will work. Sunlite Bicycle Tube 26 x 1.95 - 2.125 from Amazon will do fine. 26" is the rim diameter and the other is the tire width. You also need to determine which valve you need. Schrader or Presta. Presta is the smaller one.The Schrader is the larger one.

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!!

I believe my bike is a road bike. It has what we use to call baloon tires. they are 2.25 X 26. and the tread is relatively smooth. My bike works fine.

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 installed a pair of these 26x1.75 tires on my 26 inch comfort/commuter bike. Installed and inflated, the widest part of the tire measures 48mm or 1.88 inches wide. That was a surprise because Continental tires have a reputation for being narrower than the label width.
