Tube Doesn't fit??? WTF Please help.
I just ordered a bike tube (three actually, one if flat), and someone told me to get this size for this wheel and it doesn't seem to fit. What the hell??? I have included photos of
the bike tube dimensions - 700x25
https://www.flickr.com/photos/2803858...ream/lightbox/
the bike rim dimensions (on rim says 622 13,5)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/2803858...ream/lightbox/
and the extra space of tube poking out WTF these were sort of expensive and this was too.

Someone help me out here.
Also I need links on changing tubes tires which I will prob find on own bloody hell. This sucks.

All your pictures show a tube that's got lots of air in it (incl. the one that's mostly inside the tire). I agree with kidd - let the air out and it'll fit. Then do the inflating after you have the tire mounted properly on the rim.

The tubes you have will fit. You have a bit too much air in the tube and are stretching the tube as you install it, causing you to have excess.

i think i would compare the two tubes with NO air in them. that should make it clear if there is or is not a problem.
