Question 4

What size cycling tubes do I need?

Accepted Answer

Check your tire sidewall for size markings - it shows wheel diameter and tire width. For 700c road wheels, choose 700c cycling tubes matching your tire width: 18-25mm tubes for narrow racing tires, 25-32mm tubes for standard road tires (most common), 28-35mm tubes for wider road and gravel tires, or 32-47mm tubes for gravel and cyclocross tires. For MTB, choose cycling tubes matching wheel size (26", 27.5", or 29") and tire width range (typically 1.5"-2.5"). Cycling tubes fit a range of widths - one tube covers multiple tire sizes. Verify valve type (Presta or Schrader) and length needed for your rim depth. Deep section wheels require longer valve cycling tubes (60-80mm) to extend through rim for inflation.

Question 5

Should I choose butyl, latex, or Tubolito cycling tubes?

Accepted Answer

Choose butyl rubber cycling tubes from Continental, Schwalbe, or Vittoria for reliable all-around performance, good puncture resistance, affordable pricing (₹300-800), and low maintenance (holds air 1-2 weeks). Best cycling tubes for training, commuting, and general riding. Choose latex cycling tubes from Vittoria for lower rolling resistance and better ride quality, lighter weight than butyl, and racing performance benefits. Requires daily inflation as latex is porous. Premium cycling tubes for racing and competitive riders. Choose Tubolito TPU cycling tubes for ultra-lightweight (40-80g vs 80-120g butyl), compact packable size, superior puncture resistance, and recyclable material. Most expensive cycling tubes (₹2,000-4,000) but offer significant weight savings and performance. Best for racing, bikepacking, and performance-focused riders who value weight and packability.

Question 6

Can I pay cash on delivery for cycling tubes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, COD (Cash on Delivery) is available on all cycling tubes orders across India for your convenience. You can inspect the packaging when your cycling tubes arrive and pay the delivery person in cash. We also accept online payments via credit card, debit card, UPI, and net banking. For premium cycling tubes from Continental, Schwalbe, Vittoria, and Tubolito, COD ensures you can verify correct size and authenticity upon delivery before payment.

Question 7

How many spare cycling tubes should I carry on rides?

Accepted Answer

For road rides under 3 hours, carry one spare cycling tubes plus patch kit for second flat. For long rides over 3 hours or remote gravel rides, carry two spare cycling tubes plus patch kit for maximum security. For group rides, one spare cycling tubes is usually adequate as others likely carry spares too. For solo bikepacking or multi-day tours, carry 2-3 spare cycling tubes depending on remoteness and ride duration. Always carry cycling tubes that match your tire size and valve type. Store spare cycling tubes in saddle bag with tire levers and pump or CO2 inflator. Replace spare cycling tubes in your kit every 12 months even if unused - rubber degrades over time and old cycling tubes may fail when needed.

Question 8

What's the difference between Presta and Schrader valves in cycling tubes?

Accepted Answer

Presta valves in cycling tubes are narrow (6mm) with threaded lock nut and removable valve core, used on road, gravel, and high-performance MTB bikes, capable of higher pressures (up to 120+ PSI), and lighter weight construction. Presta cycling tubes require unscrewing valve top before inflation. Schrader valves in cycling tubes are wider (8mm) like car tire valves, used on some MTB and hybrid bikes, easier to inflate at gas stations, and more robust construction. Schrader cycling tubes inflate without unscrewing anything. Your rim determines which valve type you need - measure valve hole diameter or check existing tubes. Most road and performance bikes use Presta cycling tubes. Some MTB and commuter bikes use Schrader cycling tubes. Cannot interchange without changing rims.
