Tube Size for 24 x 1 3/8
 
Will a 24x1.5-1.95 tube fit a tire size 24 x 1 3/8?

It will work if you can get it all stuffed inside the tire and manage to seat the bead. But the extra rubber of a too-wide tube can make this more difficult than it needs to be. Is there a problem getting the proper size tube?

It may work, but the 24 x 1 3/8 tire has a larger bead seat diameter than a 24 x 1.5. 540 mm vs 507 mm. Tubes will stretch, but I would keep looking for the correct size.
24 x 1 3/8 is common on wheelchairs.

so the answer is yes, it will work but the caution is that it will be easy to catch part of it under the tire and cause a blowout. If you're careful to ensure the tire does not trap any tube under it when you put the tire on it will be just fine.

Thanks guys. My shop stocks the 1.5 that's why i asked. I'll order one that's the correct size.
