700X32C Inner Tube Presta | TUBE KING! – Tube King

Lots of bike tubes and virtually all car tires will use Schrader valves. Presta valves are slimmer and longer than Schrader. Take a closer look at the tread pattern and you will see that these tires have a fairly solid strip of rubber along the center with a more open grip pattern along the sides. This is a great combination for your bicycle as it means that the tires will fantastically well on a wide range of different surfaces. On smooth paths and paved roads, they’ll roll fast with virtually no vibration. Then on looser gravel or dirt surfaces the sides will bite into the ground and give you excellent cornering ability. A wrinkle to all of this is that thinner and lighter butyl inner tubes have become available in the last few years. Bierman tested a 100g butyl tube against an 80g latex tube, but you can get butyl tubes as light as 50g. Because they’re thinner, they have lower rolling resistance but won’t lose air like latex, but their increased fragility means they need more care in handling and puncture more easily.These are often referred to as standard valves. The other two types of valve stems are Woods/Dunlop and Presta. Woods/Dunlop valve stems are incredibly rare and typically only found on bikes in the Netherlands or Asia. Presta valve stems are traditionally found on higher-end bikes due to their performance and are most often used by professional cyclists ( Source). What Is ISO in Tires ? That’s one of the reasons why you’ll see the “c” in some metric tire codes. It’s a hangover from the old French system which categorized tire widths from “a” narrowest to “d” widest. For some reason manufacturers still include this on the tires.

This is why some tire manufacturers have moved to include a second measurement system called ISO (International Standards Organization). You may also see it referred to as ETRTO for the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (the group that originally came up with the method) ( Source).

Lots of things in life are never as easy as they first appear… and bike tires are one of them. The problem is that the numbers stated on tire sizing are what’s known as ‘nominal’. It’s not a word that normally crops up in conversation! But it’s a fancy way of explaining that those numbers embossed on the sidewall of your tire don’t often match up closely to the actual dimensions of your bike tires. In this case, we’re decreasing the width, which is usually doable. That said, you wouldn’t want to put super narrow wheels on a mountain bike, for example, because you’d lose a lot of stability and the bike may be too heavy for such small tires. If you follow the sidewall round with your finger you’ll notice that there will be words and numbers embossed. READ THIS NEXT Can I get bulletproof bicycle tires like Judge Dredd’s Lawmaster?

Yep, a standard 700C tube will fit a 27″ tire (and most tube boxes bear multiple markings to indicate this). Just convert the inch width to mm to get the width of the 700C tube, if the box doesn’t say the inch size. Is 622 the same as 700C?Bicycle tubes sit inside the tyres. However, sometimes, they get damaged or punctured by the spokes. Thankfully, you can easily replace them with new tubes. Shop your tubes replacement here at Mr Cycling World.

The diameter needs to be the same (e.g. 700 or 26”) but the tube’s width will vary depending on the amount you inflate them (like a kid’s balloon). Here’s an easy way to better understand different tire sizes and how it relates to the ISO. This is just an overview – there are many other sizes out there, but these are the most common. Tire Size The biggest factor will be whether or not your bike has room for the tires. If you’re going for a slightly narrower tire (but maintaining the diameter), you should be fine. Putting wider tires on can be more difficult, though, so it really depends on the bike’s geometry. Well, actually, they have and it’s the ISO system (which was previously known as ETRTO). It hasn’t been universally adopted though and you’ll see tires which have both ISO numbering and either metric or imperial.
