  1. hi,
    i'm very sad. My unicycle's tube exploded last saturday 🙁
    I'm trying to find a replacement here in Argentine, but it seems that
    it is impossible to find a 24 x 2.5-2.75 tube (for my Torker DX 24"😉.

    And I'm looking also in amazon.com and unicycle.com but it seems that
    this kind of tube is also somewhat rare.

    the question is:
    Do you know where can I buy (via a online-store is USA) a 24" x
    2.5-2.75 tube ?
    Can I use any other size like 24" x 2.6 ?

    Thanks!
    riq.

  2. 24"x2.6 should be fine.

    As long as the diameter is correct, the tube will expand until it
    reaches the sidewalls anyway, though a smaller tube will be thinner
    when it has expanded to the sidewalls.

    May be a little more susceptible to punctures/pinch flats? Should be ok
    though.

  4. when you order one, you should get two or three. Always good to have
    spares.

  5. Dont worry about tube diameter. 1.75 works in 3.0" tires.
