Tube size

pnudj · 2013-01-24 20:34:07

I'm sure this is probably a stupid question ,but if I change the tyres on my road bike from 700x25 to 700x23, should I change the tubes as well or can I use the existing ones ?. I find the whole tyre sizing thing very confusing and any help would be appreciated Thanks Pnudj

You can use the tubes but they will be a bit bulky inside the tyre so it will be harder to avoid pinch punctures when fitting the new tyres, nothing to worry about if you take your time.
