newb tube question
i want to put semi-slicks on for road training. Do I need to get different tubes or will the ones already on fit ?

You're current tubes should be fine unless you dramatically change the width of the tire.

Actually the reason I asked this was I spoke with 2 different sales people at my lbs and they gave me both opposite explanations.

Most tubes had the size on the side of the box. Mine say 26X1.90-2.125...If I used slicks that were 1.50, I'd use the appropriate tubes.
Use the correct size to avoid any confusion. I know riders that don't, I just like it to be right.
