Question about inner tube...

My bike's tire dimensions are 2.30" x 26"

I can't seem to find an inner tube at any local stores, and the closest the bike shops carry is 2.35" x 26"

Would the difference in size matter, or will the slightly bigger tube not work?

Thanks

That tube will work. Usually tubes list a range of tire sizes.

Yes, better tubes should have a range of width. 2.35 will probably be ok, but don't go too large at it could fold up when installed. 2.2 would probably work fine as well if you can find it... it will just be stretched a tad more (slightly less puncture resistance).

Even 26x2 would be fine.
