what size tubse for 26x1 3/8 tires
My Triumph 3 speed has a flat. Last time I changed a tube I used 26" MTB tubes because that's what I had around, bbut I also blistered both thumbs and pinched 3 tubes trying to get the hard old tire mounted. This time I'm buying a new tire, but also wondering if maybe I didn't use the right size tube.

thanks. I got tire, tube, and rim tape from my LBS all for under $20.
The tire is a Specialized Tri-Sport. Looks a little anachronistic on an old 3-speed, but it looks like a really nice tire with very smooth tread, and it only cost $10.
