NOTE; I find most standard innertubes at ACE hardware, $2.19, LBS, about $5.00! You decide!

So have you got any ideas for this one? I have a Terry bike that my granddaughter uses which has a 24 x 1" front tire. 24" inner tubes that are that skinny are hard to find. So far my granddaughter has been successful in avoiding front wheel flats and I've packed along a patch kit just in case. I know the trick about telescoping a larger tube inside of itself to fit a smaller rim but I've never been called upon to try it on a tube this narrow. You have any ideas other than obviously buying the right tube?
