Hi all,
Firstly, apologies if this thread is in the wrong section - I wasn't sure where it should go but as the off-road crowd probably muck around changing tubed tyres more frequently than most, here seemed like a good place to start!
I am in the process of changing the tyres on il Bastardo (Duc 620ie trail special).
As the tubes have been in for a long time, I want to change those too.
I am using Busters as I have found them to be very good for this stuff previously.
So here's the question -
The front tyre is a 110/80 B19M. I cannot find a tube of exactly those dimensions. I am pretty sure I can use something 'close', but which dimension should I compromise on? For example, Busters have a 110/90/19 ... is that close enough to be safe? I am guesing that a shade too big is better than a shade too small??
I use the bike regularly for high speed motorway trips so I need to get this right!
For the rear I can find the correct tube size, so no probs there.
Cheers,
Paul G
