I've purchased a Tacx Turbo training tyre for my mountain bike, 27.5 x 1.25. However, I cannot find an inner tube of the same size anywhere!! I've used my normal tubes but managed to burst two when the tube got pinched when inflated. Any idea what I can use?

    I'd just use what you have. Put the tube in and the tyre on the rim. Then go round by hand grabbing the tyre and moving it to make sure you cant see any inner tube caught underneath it. Do both sides. Pump up. Sorted.

    Physically impossible. Always a small amount ends up poking through somewhere.

    Pump it up a bit. Then it'll be in the tyre and not trapped underneath.

    26 x 1.25 works
