At The Cycling Fix in Melbourne, we offer a range of bicycle tyre inner tubes and essential repair patches. Our range is made up of bike tubes designed for reliable performance manufactured by Specialized Bikes, alongside offering tube patch kits in-case of any punctures needing quick repair.
Understanding the valve on your inner tube is important:
-
Presta Bike Valve
-
Thinner and longer, typically found on road bikes and many mountain bikes along with medium to top end bikes.
-
Requires a smaller hole in the wheel rim, which can be beneficial for rim strength.
-
Narrows at the top with a knurled nut that needs to be unscrewed to inflate/deflate.
-
Often preferred for higher pressures.
-
We stock a comprehensive range of Presta bike valve inner tubes.

Wider, like a car tyre valve.
