I'm new to biking and I need help with tube size.

I have a Trek Series 1 Model 1.2 and a Trek 7.3 WSD.

How do I find out the tube sizes?

Oh yeah, a good U-Lock I read and watched how some U-Locks can be open with pens, pricey ones too. Any idea on which one to buy?

Thank you.

Match it with the size of the tire (labeled on the tire sidewall). IF the tires are 700 X 23, then use tubes labeled 700X 18-23. Most are labeld on the box with some sort of range,eg 700 X 25-28

As long as your tire falls in the range of the tube, should be fine.

Kryptonite U locks had a problems some time back but from what I understand, it's been taken care of.

Just stay away from any ulocks with round keys. A straight key is fine.

Here's a good article about locking up a bike (http://la.streetsblog.org/2010/06/10/how-to-lock-up-your-bike-how-to-bike-racks/)...


Make sure to follow the links, too. They are very good.
