Yes, but it will lose air faster than a 700c X 28-32 tube because it is streched more. |

Some tubes are stretchier than others. Chas. |

Seems to depend on how the valve is put on. Bontragers are the stretchiest butyls I've used. That said, if it's the right size to begin with, a toob is usually a toob. |

Seems to depend on how the valve is put on. Bontragers are the stretchiest butyls I've used. That said, if it's the right size to begin with, a toob is usually a toob. I've stuck with Michelin A1 and A2 tubes for many years. Several years ago I had a flat on an old bike that I hadn't ridden much since the early 90s. The tube just developed a leak on the rim tape side, no pinching or any obvious cause. I figure that I got my money's worth after ~15 years. Chas. |
