Don't know if this happened to you but, due to a quirk in the sizing scheme for 20" tires, people sometimes end up buying ISO 451-sized tubes for your size tire when they really needed ISO 406.

Any tube listed for use with 28-406 tires should work. I personally like Schwalbe AV6 tubes when I can get them on sale.

Hmmmm. Wheels arrive next week. Velocity Aeroheat rims. I assume Presta valve drilled.

If you have aero rims you will probably need longer Presta stemed tubes. Roger

We use Presta tubes on Sharder holes, without adapters. Going up to 80 PSI. No problems so far.

If I’m not mistaken, the Continental tube appears to be made to fit both 406 and 451-size rim. No thank you.
