Can I use a 26 inch tube in a 700c tire?


It’ll work fine

. It ‘could’ work if the 700c tube diameter is similar to the 26 inch. Some 700c are quite small, and some 26 are very large. Another concern is the size of the hole for the valve stem.

Are all tire tubes the same?

Banned.

Not all butyl tubes are the same in the sense

that some are thicker/thinner than others. There are other factors as well, such as valve stem length, rubber/construction quality, size, and so on. Also there are latex tubes.

The wheel sizes 28”, 700C and 29er or 29” all refer to the same rim size:

ETRTO 622

. The tyres can differ, but the 28”, 700C and 29er are all the exact same rim diameter. The 700 markings will be followed by the width in mm, and the 28 or 29 markings will be followed by the width in inches.

Is 27.5 the same as 700C?

Just as a 700C wheel is the same diameter as a 29” (29er) wheel,

650B shares the exact same

rim diameter as 27.5”. … 27.5”/650B rims have a bead seat diameter of 584mm, and 29”/700C rims have a bead seat diameter of 622mm.

Will a 1.75 tube fit a 1.5 tire?

The diameter 1.5′′, 1.75′′,1.95′′ etcetera have tubes which will fall into the range, ie, tire =

Will a 27.5 tube fit a 29 wheel?


They will both fit into 29

, but at a stretch, literally. I’d not use it as a permanent fix, but as an emergency get you home with no alternatives, you’d probably be ok.
