What is the weight of the tube?

Troubleshooting

The tire loses air quickly.

Check for punctures by inflating the tire and listening for air leaks. Inspect the tire and tube for damage. If a puncture is found, replace or repair the tube.

The tire is difficult to inflate.

Ensure the Presta valve is open (unscrew the valve cap). Check your pump's compatibility with Presta valves. Lubricate the valve if needed.

The tube keeps puncturing.

Inspect the inside of the tire for sharp objects that may be causing punctures. Replace the tire if necessary. Ensure the tire pressure is correct.

The tire won't seat properly on the rim.

Make sure the tire bead is seated correctly around the rim. Use tire levers carefully and inflate to the recommended pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

The SV6 inner tube is specifically designed for 20-inch wheels and compatible with tire sizes ranging from 20 x 1 1/8 to 1.50 inches. It features a Presta valve, so ensure your pump is compatible with this valve type.

Setup

Preparation: Before installation, inspect the tire casing for any sharp objects (glass, thorns) that could cause a puncture.
Removal: Remove the old inner tube carefully, ensuring no part of the tire remains on the rim that could damage the new tube.
Inflation: Partially inflate the new tube to give it some shape. This helps to avoid pinching the tube during installation.
Insertion: Insert the valve stem into the valve hole of the rim.
Tire Fitting: Carefully insert the tube into the tire, working your way around the wheel.
Seating: Use tire levers (if needed) to seat the tire bead into the rim. Ensure the tube is not pinched between the tire and the rim.
Inflation: Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure (printed on the tire sidewall). Check that the tire is seated evenly around the rim.

Care

Regularly check tire pressure before each ride.
Avoid over-inflation, which can lead to tire and tube failure.
Protect the tubes from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent degradation.
Store spare tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
