My only experience with Schwalbe tubes is with their 650B tube. It's also marked as fitting these sizes: 47-559 (26x1.75) 47-571 37-584 44-584 32-590 37-590 44-590 32-597 It fits a 38x650B Col de la Vie very well, and had none of that "floppy too-big-to-fit feeling that" makes you want to use undersized tubes. They also had a phenomenal ability to hold air without leaking at all. In many ways, they were the best tubes I've ever used - and certainly the only ones I've ever purchased that came with an instruction manual. Better documentation, in fact, than you get with a new computer these days! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
