Pro-Connect spare tube?

[burncycle]

The questions will be coming in thick and fast now I have my Pro connect!

Question.
Wanted to get a spare inner tube for my pro connect.
What to I need to get or ask for in the shop?


Hope someone can help.

Regards Bob

I'm not sure what width the Pro Connect uses, but on the the tyre wall will be one of these size makings, so ask for that:

Schrader valve inner tube, 28x1.75, 28x1.90, 28x1 1/2, 700x38B (40-60x622, 40-635)

It's probably the 28" x 1.75"
.

your tyres seem to be 700 x 37 which means that you want a tube like the one below which covers 32-47 widths. I got mine on wiggle.

Continental Quality Inner Tube
Car Type 700x32-47

Ive emailed Lloyd, he should know.

5.84miles 543feet climb.
12 hills, with 2 at 1 in 10.

Did it in 29mins
Max speed 28.1mph
Average speed 11.8mph

Not bad i suppose and im unfit (and very sweaty afterwards).
Another shower in order.

did you need to use the lower gears?

Hi Paul.
I used 2nd gear with the 1 in 10's

Yesterday I tacckled a 1 in 7 and I had to use 1st.
Mainly just to stop myself getting overtired and a little oversweaty.
I need to get fitter and then reasses the gear situation.
Got my 18 tooth sprocket though sitting in a box.

Whats your hills like Paul?


Oh.
I got my return email for reference.


The Pro Connect runs a 28'' x 1 3/8 - 1 5/8 tyre and tube, with a woods valve, but it will also take a presta valve. They both use the same adapter. The alternative measurement is 37-622.

Should read Schrader valve.

 

[stokepa31_mk2]

Should read Schrader valve.

I thought that was a bit odd and had a mild panic before reading your post Harry. Ive got to marathons and Schrader tubes sitting waiting to go on my Aggatu.

Still having poblems regarding getting an inner tube for this tyre.
Both shops I have rang seems to need a bit more information regarding the tyre i need.
They asked is it a 700c

Ive told them all the info I have, but they seem a bit vague.

Help me if you can.

 

[stokepa31_mk2]

Bob tell them its 700c x 35

Metric ISO Imperial
SECT-DIA
700 x 18C =18-622
700 x 23C =23-622
700 x 25C =25-622
700 x 28C =28-622 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 1/8
700 x 32C =32-622 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 1/4
700 x 35C =37-622 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 3/8
700 x 47C =47-622

 

[burncycle]
