Buy Bicycle Tubes and Rim Tapes Cheaply at the starbike Online Shop

The bicycle tube is part of the bicycle tire system and the wheel.

For Tubeless tires, no bicycle tube is used, which is a significant advantage in terms of puncture resistance. Some road bike tires use tubular tires. As a result of the combined form of the tube and the tire, no separate bicycle tube is needed for tubular tires. Tubular tires have become popular again with the advent of carbon rims, as many carbon clincher rims often cannot handle high air pressures.

Bicycle tubes also come in many different types. They mainly differ in size (diameter), but there are also versions with extended valves for high-profile rims. Additionally, bicycle tubes are categorized based on their valves. The most commonly used valve is the French valve (also known as Sclaverand, SV, or Presta), followed by the Schrader valve (AV or auto valve) and the Dunlop valve (DV, formerly also known as the bicycle valve).
