What commonly avilable tube size is the best for 650B use? Seems like I've heard of folks using 559 tubes with success, maybe 700C as well. I will most likely order some 650B tube for my dad, but in the meantime would like to know what will work without a big hassle. 559 tubes are no problem. As a reference, I once found myself way out of town on my 700C-shod cross bike, and realized upon pinch-flatting that I had swapped gear in my pack for an earlier ride, leaving my patch kit and 700C tubes at home while bringing 26" x 2.2 tubes along. They worked (though I was pretty careful to seat the tires carefully) for about 5 miles of trail and 15 of road to get home. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes The Gallery needs your photos!
