"Normal MTB Tubes" come in lots of different sizes.

Get the right size tube (it says on the pack or in the description online what size its for) for the size of tyre

i meant do i buy mtb tubes or road tubes?

thanks

If its for an mtb then mtb tubes. Mtb wheels are a different size to road wheels

cheers mate

mcowan77

would there be much diff between 1.5 and 1.95 tyres?

cheers

Big difference!!!
If your struggling to choose then continenteal make a tube that does 1.9-2.5. I use that for 2.0 and 2.4s. They are great

Use a normal MTB innertube for 1.95 slicks.

Difference between 1.5 and 1.95 depends if you're riding on road or tow path. On the road they'll be less rolling resistance and aero (LOL) resistance, but it all adds up.

Plus, you usually have to pump in more psi on narrower tyres to make them harder.

Also the smaller the tyres, the more shocks get transferred into your body
