Confused by Vittoria inner tubes on Ribble

daniel_b

Chaps,

Check the link: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=CONTTUBE450

Unitube fits wide range of widths from 18 - 25C tyres

700x18/25 SV42mm, 700x18/25 LV52mm, 700x18/25 LV60mm

I was about to order the first one, SV42, but suddenly wondered if the different MM sizes (42/52/60) releated to increments in the tyre sizes between 18 & 25?

And what do SV and LV stand for, for a moment I though SV was Schraeder valve, but the description says presta only....

Can anyone shed any light please?!

Dan

SV = short valve
LV = long valve

The number is the length of the valve.

Aha!

thankyou Andy, that is probably a very dense question.

Does anyone know if the short valve tubes will be ok for my wheels, they are Shimano WH-R500 wheels, not mega pricey ones, so would assume SV ones would be ok?

Thanks

Dan
