Which Inner Tubes for Maxxix Minion's 2.35

Jawa

Hi, this may be a stupid question but I thought I better check. I'm swapping over the tyres on my bike, replacing the Geax Barro 2.1's that came with it for some Maxxis Minion's 2.35. I've just noticed that the inner tubes say 26 x 1.9/2.125, so does that mean they are unsuitable for a 2.35in tyre?

It'll be fine.

Cool, cheers.

Actually just thinking about it, while my bike's in bits I might as well upgrade them anyway. The ones on there now are some Cheng Shin (?!) ones that came with the bike, so I might swap them for these Continental ones (link) that are 1.75 - 2.5 and seem to get decent reviews. Plus 20% off them at Halfords at the moment so 2 for a tenner.

Always worth having spares but Cheng Shin make Maxxis tyres, so nothing wrong with them.

Ah ok, that's worth knowing. I'll keep the Cheng Shin's as spares then and whack the Conti's on. Thanks

..and reduced to £10 each!


Personally - I find these do the same job for a 1/4 of the price;

Cheng Shin make the best tubes. Absolutely no reason to switch to Conti - thats a downgrade in my opinion. I proactively look out for their lightweight ones - same as Maxxis Lightweights, half the price.
