26 x 1.25 - heavy duty inner tubes ?

Newbie here . . . I have a Brodie Fury, just installed CitySlicker 1.25 street tires and would like to find a tougher tube ( thicker rubber ).
Any suggestions on brands...... would a 1.5 fit ok in a thicker if I can't find 1.25 ?

Those would be too wide ...... ' For tyre width: 2.4" - 2.7" '

Maybe these would work . . . https://tinyurl.com/3hbvcgn

Yes. It's for a minimum 1.5"

Tubes that will fit generally fall in the 1.1-1.4" range. Look for the words "thorn proof." I -think- Michelin makes Airstops in this size; their butyl tires are super-lightweight, which is the opposite of what you want.

Also, you may come across 26 1 3/8". This is a size used on old British bikes and won't fit.

if i was a sharp piece of detritus and just managed to make my way through a 1.25 city slicker tire, i would feel that the rest of the task (making a miserable day for a biker) should be a piece of cake. regardless of the thickness of the tube yet to be transited.

just say'n...could be wrong here...
