Tubes for slick and slim tyres (on my Marin)

Having just built up my Yeti for trail duties, I am going to start using my *tart bike* (ie the marin) for road use only.
I have just purchased some slick tyres for it, they are 26 x 1.1 (MTB tyres)
However, I just thought about tubes, should I get designated slim tubes or just use my race tubes 2.1 +... can you do this???
Never used slicks before... hmmmmmmmm

You'll need slimmer tubes. I run 1.5in slicks (City Jets) for commuting and even they are a struggle with fat tubes.0

For ones that slim, I'd go for Conti Race 26 ones. I also run 1.5 (Bonny Road Warrior) and have the Conti's.
TBH, you'd have quite a job shoe-horning a 2.1tube into a 1.1 casing.AT MY AGE, I SHOULD KNOW BETTER !!!0
