Which tube to get

Irish Gunner

Okay the dreaded puncture arrived yesterday although not far from home.. Within 5k radius :-)

Now for the Homer bit...

However have not bought tube in a long while so not sure what to get did not check tube before I fixed it for size

On the tyre it has 25*622 and 700 *250 so take it any 700 x 23-28mm tube will do

So which should I choose?

This best place to get them or anywhere else online?

Have you a puncture repair kit hiding somewhere......... If not, maybe your local hardware (if open) might have one.

On new tubes, the valve lengths can be different. Be sure not to buy one that's too short or you won't be able to attach the pump head. If in doubt, buy the longest valve type.

Yeah I did have one and fixed puncture but it's more for in case of emergency break glass. Also to have as spare in case I cycle over broken bottles... Or hit a large pot hole (how I got this puncture)

Different options on link I posted just not sure which one to get

That’s what I’d go for based on the info you supplied. I ordered stuff from that shop a few weeks ago and delivery was quick so I’d recommend them.

Be sure the tyres are correctly inflated. Most punctures from hitting pot holes are due to under inflation.

do you have any local bike shops you can contact to see if they're open? just tell them you're looking for tubes for a 700c, 25mm tyre.

as crosstownk mentioned, the sort of puncture you got (from hitting a pothole) is often due to an underinflated tyre. for a 25mm tyre, a handy rule of thumb is that the minimum PSI you should pump the tyre to is equivalent to the weight of you and the bike in KG.

None open within 5k radius that's why I was checking online.

Some i see only offering to essential workers

The 5km doesn't include shopping. (I know it might be a stretch)

Even though bike shops are closed, many are operating on the basis of phoning in what you want and collecting at the door

Yes technically you can't go to a bike shop unless you need your bike to commute to work.

Presta 48mm - 700x20-25c is what you want unless you have deep dection wheels that would require a longer Presta valve.
