I snagged my rear tube when I was mounting a new Metzeler ME880.
I want to go with a new tube rather than trying to patch it up.
I was looking for recommendations on a replacement tube. I am reading that a 140/80 tire needs a 5.50/6.00 tube. I am having a tough time finding this size at a cheap price.
I have been able to find 5.00/5.50 tubes for cheap and I was wondering if they would work in my application. The Metzeler's sidewalls are much thicker than the IRC tire, so I would think that there is less space inside the tire for the tube. Would this smaller size tube work?
If I have to stick with the 5.50/6.00 tube, anybody have any links on where to pick one up cheaply?
