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.

Adina, on the site "700 x 25-28 (27 x 1-1/8-1-1/4) 32mm PRESTA" the 25mm that you are in question is the width of the tube (tire rim) ; (range 25-28 that translates to 1-7/8 - 1-1/4). this is an update to my previous response.

Virginia, look on your bicycle rim (the big round metal part of the wheel) and the size should be printed on there. If it reads 700 mm, than these are the tires you want. Also, buy tires in pairs and replace them both, keeping the better of the 2 as a emergency spare. You'll want to purchase inner tubes as well. The normal RANGE in size would be 700 X 28-32. This means 700 mm in circumference and 28-32 mm in girth. You can reuse the old one, but always have 2 on hand, and replace the innertube should it (or they) be brittle and have a cracking appearance. Here is an eBay link to quality inner tubes, at an affordable price. ~ http://www.ebay.com/itm/371171729433? ~ Also, you can go to Youtube for tutorials.

I'm Unaware of the size (26" x 1095). I assume you mean 26" x 1.95. My tires are indeed this size in which case this is the proper size tube for the tire. If you are not sure, Simply look at the "Side wall" of the tire. It should indicate the size of the tire. (In some cases the sidewall is scuffed or "Dry-Rotted" to the degree that you just can't read it). Once you can read/obtain the size of tire. You order the tube of that size. Most tubes cover a small range of tires. For example; If you have a 26" x 1.95 tire, some tubes will accommodate tire size(s) 26"x 1.85 up to 26" x 2.125. The same tube is capable of expanding to 3/4 of an inch in width. Find your tire size, diameter is the 26" and the width is the 1.95. The best way I found is typing in the tire size and searching tube. Most of Schwinn comfort bikes/trikes I've seen have 26" x 1.95 all the way up to 26" x 2.125 tires on them. This Sun lite tube in particular indeed fits my 26" x 1.95 application.

These fit only small diameter tubes as on a standard bike rack. I'd say they are about 1/4 inch.

Sorry I don't know the answer. tube size, I have several different bikes, I use is marked on the side of the tire. I am guessing by information that you should check for marking on tire itself. The 27 x 1 1/4 fits only one of my bikes and I fill them to about 100psi.

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.

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

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.

I got Maxxis High Roller 2.1 and there is enough space for a bigger tire, not too sure how max wide could you use.

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.

This tube will fit 8" - 8-1/2" outside diameter tire, 2-1/2" wide on a 4" wheel.

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

I would feel comfortable putting a kenda 700 x 40 tire on your bike...should fit ok...I would recommend always changing the tube when you change a tire, especially the rear tire...I would recommend using a kenda 700 x 40-45 tire tube...it is available on amazon for about $3.54 plus shipping...I have both tires and tubes, very satisfied...

I am using mine with 26 x 2.125 comfort bike tires, so the only difference would be a little more noise due to the knobbies. Should be no problem, and you will enjoy it.

the 26 is the important part so you should be good. I currently run a 23 millimeter wide tire on a 23 millimeter wide rim so the width is fine too. just don't go any narrower.

I cant answer for sure because my son's bike has 1.5 inch tires. However it appears to be big enough to go around 2.25 tires if you have a cable release it will help on install. Otherwise you may have to release the cable to get the caliper around the tire.
