Question for confused new purchaser
Hi All,
Could someone with knowledge help me I have just changed my MTB to a Hybrid and my wheel size has changed from a 26" wheel to a 700c wheel. On the tyre the size shows 700x42c but the sales assistant sold me 700 x 35-40c inner tubes Will these fit or is he pulling the wool over my eyes ?? Thanks in advance for your Conkers |
Just re checked and the tyres are in fact 700 x 45c
|
I'd say that is close enough it will work.

Would I not be more prone to punctures etc ?? Thanks. |
I suppose the tube stretching to fill a 700x45 tire will make it thinner, and ever so slightly more likely to be punctured, but the difference is negligible. I'm not saying you can throw a 700x23 tube in a 700x50 tire, but the tube and tire do not have to be the exact same width to work.

Thanks for the help.
I will keep the tubes as there don't seem to be too much risk Thanks for the help |
That's an inconsequential difference. Go for it.
