I am getting new tyres at christmas and was wondering if i need to get new tubes. My current tyres are Rubena charbydis sport 2.0 and i am getting a maxxis ardent 2.25 and a specialized captain 2.2 rear. Would my current tubes be big enough? If i need to get new tubes, are there any better quality or value than this? http://www.evanscycles.com/products/con ... RRWidgetID

yes they will be fine, as long as the rim holes can accommodate schrader valves0

i prefer schwalbe tubes, as they have lockrings and removable cores.0

Your current tubes will probably also be fine, though heavy...Uncompromising extremist0

I found they punctured really easily with thorns but what doesn't? (apart from self sealers which I now use) but really nicely made with screwdown valves, Remember to talc/chalk the new tyres and tubes.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:0 -
Thanks for your advice
captainfly, do you mean in between the tyre and the tube? I haven't heard that you should do this before0 -
Yeah a bit of talc in the tyre between it and the tube stops them binding and twisting. so makes fitting easier and improves general perfomance.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
