Tube for 2.35" Big Apple

Am I going to need to get a downhill tube for the Big Fat Apples? Any other recommendations? I decided to put a 2.35" on the rear and a 2.0" on the front. Should be coming this week so I need to get a tube soon. Thanks.

Nah, just use whatever mtb tube you can find. Even Schwalbe specs the same tube for tires between 1.5" and 2.35".

If you want to splurge, the Schwalbe tubes are about the nicest things out there.

Why the choice to run different size tires?

Initially was going to get both 2.35s, but after measuring, the 2.35 wouldn't clear front fork. So, I figured it wouldn't be bad to have a wider tire in back(motorcycles), but thinking now I probably would have just got both 2.0s.

The question will be if my old brakes will be able to adjust and if fenders will clear. Crossing fingers, ordered online. Few local shops have great service, but poor stock selection so I chanced it. Worst case I have to return items with my shipping costs(still less than $$ saved buying online) and the hassle of time.

I had already purchased replacement tubes for existing tires, before seeing the Schwalbe tubes when checking out their tires otherwise.... Thanks.
