Have they given me the correct inner tube?

Went to Evans yesterday to pick up a few bits.

Asked the guy which inner tune I needed for an Airnimal Joey Sport, and he gave me a 26 1.25/1.5.

The Airnimals have a 24" rim, so will this tube be OK? Can you go slightly larger on the tube diameter than the rim diameter and get away with it?

Thanks,

    Nope, You need a 24" tube. Take it back and take your tyre size with you (24 x 1.75 or whatever)

    Thanks Dave,

    I wasn't sure what rim it had on it, but as I picked it up last night I can now let them know the exact one I need.

    I wouldn't care, he even went and checked on the interent!!! :roll:

    Evans staff should know better.

    If you really want to mess with their minds, ask for the tube in ETRTO size.

    That'll probably be 25-520.
