16/18" inner tubes - would they fit a Brompton?
Would generic 18" inner tubes fit a Brompton? I've found that Schwalbe sell 16/18" tubes that do, but someone is selling 18" tubes online that claim to fit a Brompton.
Thanks for any advice.

I use Schwalbe A/V 4 or 5. both work, A/V 4 349 is printed on the Box , but the 5 fits too . (says 18" on the box)
A/V Is what Schwalbe calls Schrader stems ... auto valve, Green Box .. P/V is the red Box.
Good luck with online buying .. IDK, sight unseen, what the Generic will be .. Cheap enough to risk it?
But realize Tubes are like Balloons.. the less you have to inflate them to fill the tire casing, the thicker the rubber is functionally inside the Tire casing.
