Inner Tube 700 vs 27 inch
Can I use a 700 inner tube on a 27 inch wheel?
I have an 80's Schwinn Letour and it has 27 inch wheels with presta holes. I'm having some trouble finding 27 inch presta tubes.

The tubes are completely interchangeable. The rough equivalents when comparing 27" tire sizes to 700c: 27 x 7/8 ~700 x 23c, 27x 1 ~700 x 25c, 27 x 1 1/8 ~700 x 28c, and 27 x 1 1/4 ~700 x 32c. So for your 27 x 1 1/4 tire, you'll need a tube suitable for a 700 x 32c tire-

Often on some 700c tube boxes, you'll see the 27" size also mentioned.
