I wouldn't waste my money on that. If you need a new tube get a new one they are cheap but don't waste twenty dollars on that.

Dude seriously don't worry about it. Generic tubes are like two dollars they work as replacements.

Just get them from dan's comp or they might have something like that at a shop. I don't know though I don't trust bike shops.

I had a guy that worked for one give me false info about gearing and hubs. Then, found out after I gained experience that he lied to me. Never went back there again I get all my stuff from Dan's Comp and most of my info on here.

Did you guys even look at the weight, Shipping Weight (in pounds):3.25
That means that the tube might be 3lbs, when a normal one is half a pound. wtf...
