Hi guys,
I've got an old (apparently roadster-style) bicycle that needs new tires and tubes. Tire size according to the old ones is 27 1 1/2 (40x609). The most easily accessible LBS sells a combination tube for the sizes 27-28 (32x622-44x635).
Now I've occasionally come across bikes that have given a bumpy ride because the tube have actually been folded double somewhere in the tyre, so I'm a bit wary about using a tube that potentially could be too long. Would I be able to/better off using a standard 26" or MTB 26" tube instead? (584/559 mm)
