Description
>> DESCRIPTION:This is a NEW tube, in the box, and the box has never been opened.
It has a black plastic valve cap like most tubes have. It fits tire sizes 16 x 1.50, 1.75, and 1.95.
The box may be a different color from the picture as the factory sometimes changes the color or the box.
This tube is the regular kind that you can put air in with the same kind of pump that puts air in automobile tires. This tube has a schrader valve just like automobile tires and most bicycle tubes.
Some bicycles have tubes that have a smaller diameter valve stem than this, and this valve stem WOULD NOT go on rims that have a smaller hole.
If a new tube goes flat soon after putting it on, it is almost always caused by (1) not installing it properly; (2) not removing all of the sharp objects that were stuck in the tire, such as thorns, pieces of glass, pieces of wire etc.
See information at the bottom of this page.

How to not get a hole in the tube while putting it on:
Even if you have the best new tube that you could buy, something may cause a hole in the tube while you are putting the tube on, or within a few minutes after you put the tube on, and before anyone rides the bicycle. This could cause the tire to go flat before you even put it back on the bicycle. If it is a small hole, the tire could go flat a few days later because there was something like a piece of glass, a thorn or something that was already sticking through your tire when you put the new tube on. Many flats can be prevented if you do everything that you need to do while you are putting on a new tube. Causes of flats which could have easily been prevented are:
(1)
The tube gets pinched between the rim and the tire while you are putting it on;
(2)
You do not push the tire far enough down into the rim in one place, and the tire comes off the rim at that place when you air the tire up tightly, bursting the tube;
(3)
A spoke is sticking up above the nipple. File off all spokes like that so they will not punch a hole in the tube;
(4)
One of the spoke nipples is not covered by a liner, and it will rub a hole in the new tube;
(5)
When you take the old tube out of the tire, mark the tube and the tire so you can find the place on the tire where the hole in the tube was. Find the hole in the old tube even if you plan to throw the tube away. Feel all over that place on the inside of the tire to see if there is a piece of glass, a piece of wire, a thorn or something that is sticking all the way through the tire. Feel everywhere else on the inside of the tire just to be sure there is nothing that could put a hole in the new tube. Also, look at the outside of the tire at the place where the hole in the tube was to see if there is anything sticking in the tire.
(6)
Even the best tubes could leak at the valve because of talcum powder under the valve. After you put air in the tube, put something on the top of the valve stem to see if it will make a bubble by air leaking out.
If it is leaking, sometimes you can fix it by pushing the valve down all the way with the tube aired up tightly.
If the valve still leaks, you may be able to stop the leak by putting in a different valve from an old tube.
This does not happen often, but it happens with the best tube you can buy just as often as with cheaper tubes.
Inflate the bicycle tube slightly before you put it in the tire. Do not put enough air in it to stretch the tube. Leave it inflated slightly while you are putting the tire on the rim. You may have to let some air out so you can put the last few inches of the tire on the rim.
After you get the tire on the rim, put just enough air in it so that the tire will stay in place, but not so much air that you cannot push or pull the tire up or down in the rim. Look at the bead line on each side of the tire to see if it is the same distance from the rim everywhere. You may need to pull the tire up where it is too far down in the rim, and push it down into the rim where it is not far enough down in the rim. After you get the bead line on the tire the same distance from the rim everywhere (you may not be able to get it exactly the same distance everywhere), put air in the tire to the recommended pressure.
If you use an air compressor to put air in the tire, do not put the air in too quickly because it might blow the tire off the rim, or it might push the tire up too far in one place which could cause trouble later. Before you get to the recommended pressure, check the bead lines again to see if the tire has come up too far our of the the rim in one place, and if it has, let the air out enough so that you can push the tire down in the rim at that place and air up the tire again. It is more difficult to get wide tires seated evenly in the rim than narrow tires.
