Road bike tires / tubes?


I bought a pair of road bike tires that are size 700 x 26c with presta valves..

Can somebody point me to a place where I can buy tubes for these tires? Thanks

And does anybody know what the best tube company/tubes are? I want high quality ones that don't break easy.

Thanks

You can buy good tubes to fit almost anywhere: bikeshops, on-line stores, EBay etc.

here's one place: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?categ...

I often buy tubes from www.performancebike.com

You may want to find a local bike shop in your area. Check the yellowpages. I am interested in your choice of 700 x 26. most road tires are 700x18 , 700 x20, 700 x 23, and 700 x 25. The smaller the small number the less rolling resistance you will have.

Tubes are pretty much the same. Get them from a bike shop and they'll be a little tougher than walmart tubes. 27"x1 1/4 tubes will also fit your tires.

Make sure your tire pressure is high enough if you're getting flats all the time. Or get tougher tires.

I recommend Specialized and Continental from experience.
