Choosing an inner tube:
To maintain your bike properly, it is important to know the exact dimensions of your tyres.This information is visible directly on the sidewall of the tyre (diameter and section).For example, 26x1.90 means a tyre with a diameter of 26 inches and a width of 1.90 inches.
On the side, you will also find the dimensions in mm according to the international ETRTO standard.
For example, 50-559 means a tyre that is 50 mm wide with an inner diameter of 559 mm (i.e. 26x2.00).

Regular cleaning of the tyre will extend its life and that of the inner tube.
