Thank you, I now know what to look for, as I was not aware these existed. I'll try my other LBS first, then have the two options for online ordering.

I had hoped I was not the only one who faced this challenge, and you came through with confirmation and solutions. Much appreciated. Now I wished she had purchased more as the price was very reasonable and this tube size is the same as her and my hybrids with 38c tires.
