Wow you seem testy.
There is a limit to using a small tube in a large tire. Do you agree or disagree?
If you agree, then you have been responding in an argumentstive manner for no reason as you may not like the specific size i mention, but thats the hardly as important as the main point which is that there is a limit to the difference between tube size and tire size. Just name the limit you think is acceptable and be done.
If you disagre and your position is that a 23 tube can go in any sized tire, then state that directly and be done.
As for the car analogy...a 23mm tube can work in my 40mm tires but it isnt ideal or meant to be used in that manner for an extended period of time. Same with the engine. It can do high speed, but not for extended time.
If a 23mm tube were meant to be used in that manner, then there wouldnt be larger tubes made. This isnt a marketing ploy since a 23mm and a 43mm tube cost the same.
