Tubes... 18-23 or 18-25?
Hello! I'm obviously new to the scene and was wondering the difference between 18-23 tubes and 18-25. My Conti3000s are 23. What are the pros and cons in my situation of using an 18-23 tube versus a 18-25. Thanks everyone!

Tubes come in different weights as well as sizes. You won't notice the difference between a 23 and a 25 given the same type of tube, but you may if one is an ultra light and the other is a heavyweight.
