Quick Q about this innertube

[esoteric]

I'm looking at new tyres for the bike within Tredz' easter sale and selected these tyres at 35c - https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Schwalbe-M...d-Wired-700c-Hybrid-Tyre_51800.htm?sku=140525

I'm looking at the tubes to go with them at 700x38c which is the closest match to the new tyres above - https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Schwalbe-Presta-Valve-Inner-Tube_51856.htm

Tredz aren't on chat this bank holiday otherwise I'd ask those experts instead of you experts.

My current set up is 700x44c tyres and the tube is 44 too which was from Halfords for 3 quid. My rims are, from the black tab on the rim, DB-28 700c, ERTO 622-19 Alloy 6061-T6.

The smaller 32c will be fine (and weigh less too!)
This video explains why... he's using 24" tubes in 29" MTB tyres, but the concept is the same.

^this.. if you inflate an inner tube outside of the confined space of a tyre it gets absolutley bloody huge!

Using one size smaller is no problem. Just dont go bigger as it could bunch up in the tyre and cause punctures and instability.

The new tyres and tubes came today. I was having problems getting the first tyre on the rim but not sure why as the second one went on easy, and I had to go back to the first tyres because I put it on with the tread going backwards.

I've come from 42c beat up, basic and sold with the bike Kenda tyres that have so many cuts you'd think Freddy Krueger handled them to the 35c Schwalbe tyres linked above, and I bought the 32c inner tubes too as suggested.

I'm looking forward to Monday when I'm taking the bike out, as for now it's R&R.
