BMX inner tubes

Dimensions

Most BMX bikes run on twenty inches, with tyres that are one point five to two point four inches wide. The inner tube should cover this width: an inner tube twenty by one point seventy-five to two point twenty-five fits many tyres. Cruisers run on twenty-four inches, and children's BMX bikes come in sixteen or ten-eight inches.

Schrader or Presta

The Schrader valve, sturdy, equips most freestyle BMX bikes: it inflates easily and withstands impacts. The Presta valve, thinner, is found on race wheels. The valve diameter must match the rim hole. In parks and streets, high pressures and hard landings put a lot of stress on the inner tube.

Reinforced or lightweight

In freestyle, a thick or reinforced inner tube is preferred, which resists pinch flats during landings and grinds. In race, a lightweight inner tube reduces wheel inertia for quicker starts. Sealant helps to seal small punctures. Always check pressure before each session, and keep a repair kit in your bag.

Frequently asked questions

What inner tube for a twenty-inch BMX?

Choose an inner tube in twenty inches with a width range that covers that of the tyre: a twenty by one point seventy-five to two point twenty-five works for many BMX tyres. Check the width printed on the sidewall.

What inner tube for a child's BMX?

Children's BMX bikes come in sixteen or ten-eight inches depending on the age and size of the young rider. Check the dimensions on the sidewall of the tyre and preferably choose a Schrader valve, easy to inflate anywhere.

How to avoid punctures in BMX street and park?

Choose a thicker inner tube, which better resists pinch flats when landing on curbs and edges. Inflate to the correct pressure and you can add sealant against small punctures.

What inflation pressure for a BMX tyre?

It depends on the tyre and the activity: lower in dirt for grip, higher in street and park to avoid pinch flats, and in race for performance. Always stay within the range indicated on the sidewall.

How to repair a BMX inner tube?

Identify the hole by inflating the inner tube and submerging it in water, sand the area, apply the glue, then press on the patch firmly. After a few minutes, put the inner tube back together without pinching it.
