Inner Tubes
Hi.
Needed a new tube so i got my parents to get me one whilst they were in town. Gave them the measurments on a bit of paper 700 x 20-28c. Guy in the shop gives them 700 x 18-23c. My tyre size is 700 x 28c. Will the tube they gave me, 700 x 18-23c, work in a 700 x 28c tyre?
Thanks guys, cos could save me a trip back to the dam shop.

It'll work just fine. Maybe it'll lose air a bit faster than a larger, heavier tube, thats all

In my experience it will work, the tube will just be stretched more than normal. I've ridden my commuter bike (which has 700x35s) with 700x18-23's for many months without a problem. If the tubes can expand to 35c at 100psi they can surely expand to 28c.
I don't know if it has anything to do with "heavier" or not. I doubt it.
