Can I use this tube in a 26 x 2.35 balloon tire?

My suggestion--Don"t use it at all. If you have not yet made a purchase, buy one that you can take a look-at first to be sure the quality is what you want.

Sure, that tube will stretch to fit a 2.4 inch tire. But, you can find a proper 2.4" inner tube -- I'd encourage you to look harder for the correct size. Technically speaking, every tube looses air through microscopic pours in the material -- thinner tubes loose air more quickly, and lightweight/high-performance tubes can loose up to 50% volume daily! Buy running a normal tube in an oversized tire, you are stretching out those pours and the system will leak air more rapidly. And this is to say nothing of foreign debris and flats.

A lawn and garden store that carries the tires can tell you what size tube to use. I myself don't use tubes.

you need tires that are 26x2.125 if you have a 26 inch bike.most tubes will say on box.26x 1.75 to 2.125 put a little air in tube,then put in tire to,install easy..if its late 50s could be 26x1.75 make sure of 26-25 size wheel make sure of your size put wheel next to other size wheel on a other bike keep riding!!

You can usually use a size or 2 larger tube in a narrower tire, but not a larger tire with a narrower tube.I believe this tube covers 1.9 t0 2.15 .Inflate tire to recommended pressure on tire and I think you'll be okay...

700c is NOT the equivalent of 26 inches. 700c in inches is 27.56, so you can't even use a 27" tube. The 29" Slime tube offered here is made to fit 29" diameter tubes with a width between 1.85 inches and 2.2" inches. Your tire is slightly wider. I would look for a wider tube.

If your tires are 700 x28 or larger I don't know why these tubes wouldn't work. They would be my choice.

Yes, you can! But it would be better buy a tire appropriate to run with tubes. You will expend less $ doing that. No tubes tires are little more expensive.

Yes, it will work without problem since it can work with tires from size 26"x 1.75" to 26"x 2.125" and these dimensions are within its range.

You bet... you'll need a 26x1.25 tube. I went cheap and bought some at Wal Mart not knowing how much I'd like the tires (thinking sunk costs). When you put the tires on, you might find that they are a tight fit around the rim and that the tube seems to crimp when you first lay it inside the tire. Not sure if the crimping corrects itself when you inflate the tire; thus far I've had no problems after 60+ miles of riding on 'em.Hope that helps,CT

Look at the tire size that you will be putting it into. Buy a tube to fit the tire.Jim

I agree with the previous answer. My original tire was 26x2.0 and I've had no problems. I believe there's a fitting guide on Shrldon Brown's website for additional reference.

I'm no bike expert, but I'd strongly caution against going beyond the 26'. The tube fit great, and still works without a flaw, and I can only assume it still works great because of the tight fit between the tube and the tire. Hope that helps.

That's for the diameter of the tire. This larger diameter would only matter if it would force you to buy new tubes, or if for your tire is already extremely tight in your frame. These diameters are so close together that I think you won't have any trouble with this new tire.

For the one I've ridden several thousand miles now, a 26" x 1 3/8", the answer is yes. Moreso than the airless tires I've also tried, close enough to an aired tire I find no practical difference. It rolls pretty well too. The biggest tradeoff is how hard they are to mount. The smaller the diameter, the higher the equivalent pressure, and the harder to mount. My brother is using a larger one, and it wasn't nearly as tough to get on.

Although I think your question isn't worded correctly (asking if they are 2.125 or 2.125) I think I understand your question. These are in fact 2.125" wide. This is a standard tire size for most of the balloon tire era (Mid 30's through mid '60's). These bicycles used a tire size of 26" diameter by 2.125" width. This tire size is also used for a lot of newer retro styled cruiser bikes. A 1.125" tire would be very narrow and not on a typical cruiser bike.

Make sure it is a 26x2.1 you are trying to fit. A 26" tire will fit any 26" rim but you have to watch the width. A 1.75 will not fit a 2.1 so make sure you have the right width tire. Match with the numbers on the tire you are trying to replace, they will be on the side of the old tire.

The tube should list the size range that it supports. The range should cover the size of your tire. So Presta, 26" X 1.75"/2.2" would fit 26" tires from 1.75 to 2.2 and would fit your tire. I love my Serfas tubes. They seem to hold air better than most, therefore I don't have to pump them up as often.
