I have £5 I'll lose if I don't spend it so I was going to get a spare tube for the roadie and hopefully that'll be me set for long riding.

And I wanted to make sure, it says 650 x 25c on the tyres so does that mean I can get any tubes that have 650 x 25 even if it's formatted as 650 x 18/25c.

    650 is the diameter of your tyres, though confusingly the true measurement is actually 571mm.

    25 is the width of your tyre in mm

    A tube with 18/25 on it means it's suitable for tyres from 18mm to 25mm, so yes they will fit your tyres.
