Title: OT: Tubed tyre question.
Post by: red_phil on May 26, 2005, 03:29:49 AM
Hi all.
Just woindering if anyone here knows much about tyres with inner tubes.
Specifically would either a 2.5" or 3.0" tube be suitable
for use in a 2.75" Tyre?

My Girlfriends MZ TS250/1 takes 2.75 x 18" tubes,
but the local parts store says they only have 2.5 x18"
or 3.0 x 18" on their parts book.

A swift response would be appreciated as this needs to be fixed in time for a bike trip round scotland starting on Saturday morning.
