i need 24" tubes for the 24" 3G fat tires

[RichL]

I purchased the 3G tire deal here, I got the 24" and the 26". The Boas 26" came complete, the 24's came rim separate and I also purchased a tire (big fat and tall thing ) yea, i don't know what I am talking about, work with me here , they did not come with the rim strip or the tubes...

My problem, I have ordered tubes from 2 different places and each time the tubes are too small... what do I need to order to make the 24" 3g fat tire work... I am very fast running out of time This has to be done before the following weekend ... help :mrgreen:

Any help gratefully accepted!

I don't use special tubes, just the usual 24 x 1.75 or 24 x 2.125 inner tubes. These are Nirve 24 x 3 tires with regular tubes on the same wheels as yours, I do the same thing with my Kenda 26 x 3 tires, use standard tubes. For rim strips on these wheels, i use tape (duct tape or other thick tape) to cover the inside of the rims. Works fine.

Maybe it is because the last ones I got were puncture resistance ones, when pumped up they do not fill 1/2 the tire, the first ones I bought I can't find, so I don't know what they are :roll:
I'll see if I can find some locally than, thanks!
BTW, thats a nice looking bike!

I ordered some of these for my next project. Hopefully they're actual 3" tubes.

I'm using Felt wheels and Thick Bricks and put this together using a regular size 24" tube but it had a long way to expand to fill this tire up.

Hmmm.... My LBS stocks 24x3 tubes, so I just walk in and get one.

I've always run 26" cruiser tubes with 24x3s without any issues.

The Kenda 24x3 tubes are big and fat. Don't have a picture of the regular 24" tube but you can tell by the size of the box.
