Tire Question

Hi all. I need some information on inner tube sizes. My bike tire has this info on it 50-559 25 X 1.95 to fit H/B rim. In searching for a tube to fit my tire I cannot find any in the 25" size? Is this size no longer supported or just very uncommon?
Thanks for any info.

um...i think a 25" tire is a wheelchair tire. i think what you described is an off road wheelchair tire. mountain bikes are either 26" or now 29", road bikes are 700 cc.

this is what i think you described

Well thanks pablosnazzy. After looking the link, I went back and double checked the info on tire....it is a 26 x 1.95...lesson learned - always check bike in full daylight. And with that info at least I will be back on the trail again by tomorrow lol

this is the new way to ride ....29 inch instead of 26 inch mountainbike rims/tires The ''Niner'' bikes are built to handle the 29'' tire/rim combo , it wouldn`t perform good on a mountainbike made for the 26'' rim/tire combo
just click on picture i think it will shower a biggger version......
