what type of inner tube does my tire need?>
my tire size is 700x25c
I see many out there that say 700x19-26c etc
any of these fine? basically means this tube will fit tire sizes 19 trough 26c?
also I went to my LBS and told them I needed one and gave me a 700x18-23c
put it on but it seemed a little small
sorry for the noob question
I ride @ night on a road full of debri so I I constantly get flats
also how many mm should the presta valve be? my lbs recommended a 48mm, dude told me it was the best, something about the air no escaping

700x19 tubes are fine. They make flat proof tubes but they're really heavy, if you don't care then I guess they're good....
Also, they make tire liners.....

^Agreed. If the stem doesn't project enough through the rim, it can be hard to get the chuck of the pump sealed on it properly. I like to have around 20mm of stem projecting. For me, that means around 40mm total length.

How about 700x21-23 with 25mm tire? A friend of mine said that it's fine but I want to make sure. I guess the inner tube would be slightly thinner when inflated and could get slighty more flats.
