It just makes sense to me that if the rubber has to stretch too much
it is under tension and it gets thinner so it's easier to puncture it.
I have some 700x47's and tubes for 35mm tires that don't seem to hold
air as long yet the same size tube using a 32mm tire seems to hold air
much longer. I do

In my mind, the more a tube has to stretch the greater the chance of a
puncture. I try to use the largest volume tube of the correct diameter
for the tire. In a pinch, whatever works is better than walking for
ten hours.

I've used 559X1" tubes in 559X2" tires; no problems. I've used 559X2" tubes
in 622X60 mm tires: no problem (except that they are very, *very* hard to
install, with that extra 2 1/2 inches of rim to clea)r. I've used 622 X
28mm tubes in a 60 mm tire; no problem.These were situations where I didn't
I have used 26x1.25-1.5 for Riv Nifty Swifty. It's a bit of stretch
but no problem. I got those tubes from Universal Cyclery in Portland
