Why wont tube size 700 x 23/32 work "here" ?
I got a puncture last night and my tyres are 700 x 23 mm type. A spare unused tube I keep is 700 x 23/32 so I fitted it. Its fitted correctly but the tyre gives a big bulge outwards directly above the hole where the valve is threaded through and if I pump it any more, the tyre is coming off the rim.
I then checked the punctured tube and it says 700x 18/25 and feels slimmer than the 700x23/32. With it being a 23 mm tyre, is the 700mmx18/25 the correct choice for replacement, even though I thought the 700 x 23/32 would have done the job ?

I've never seen a 23/32... you sure it's not a missprint of 28/32?
18/23/25, 20/25, 28/32, 32/38 is what I'm used to seeing.
But if it really is a 23/32, I'm interested since I could use those.

yeah, its a 23/32 alright , but i am based in the uk. why would that size cause a bulge in a 23mm tyre where the 18/25 doesnt , thats what i am really trying to find out.
