Tube size problem.
I have a 700x18/23 tube to put in a 700x25 tire, would you take the chance? I'm 30.5 kms from home with nothing else on hand.
Thanks

Unless it's a really cheapo tube, it shouldn't be a problem.

your better off using a smaller tube rather than a larger tube... Large would more likely result in a pinch flat or the excess tube getting stuck between the rim and the bead of the tire
