    My Giant FCR3 is show as having Kenda 700x26mm tires. Looking on http://www.chainreactioncycles.com I find the list of choices confusing. How tell what tubes I need?

    Here's a screen grab from the site above...

    they are not the right type, you need road tyre tubes like these ones:

    the size should match your tyre size so get the 700x25-32 (meaning they do from 25 to 32 wide tyres) of these ones or a different tube in that size

    Presta is the skinny valves usually on road bikes, schraeder is the car valve usually on MTB's though prestas are becoming more popular on MTBs now.

    Also always check the reviews on CRC, some tyres are described slightly incorrect, eg 2.0-2.5 might be 1.9-2.4 on the pack.
