inner tube too small?
Newbie Question. Will an innertube that I got with my new bike (the tires are 700 x 38) most likely fit 700 x 40 tires. Is the sizes stamped on the innertubes? Iam not having too much luck finding this size tube.

I use tubes marked 2.4-2.7" in my 4" tires.
If you ever want to know how large a tire a tube will fit, inflate it outside the tire. Butyl rubber is amazingly elastic. This summer I was caught without a 29er tube after ripping the tire. A 26" tube stretched to fit got me home just fine.
