Daft Question - What tubes for a Carrera Virtuoso?

[sabian92]

Evening all,

Just sorting out my new boots, and I don't know what tubes I need. I'm getting 700x25 Marathon Pluses (What I've got on now, but a hybrid and they were 26x1.75). Do I need Presta or Schraeder, long or standard length, or a different size (Got 700x20/28 selected at the moment, not actually paid for them yet though).

Cheers.

700 x20/28 should fit fine , i tend to go for long valve if i can or it can be a fiddle taking the washer off to get enough room to get the pump head on properly.
Get a track pump as well as it makes it a lot easier to keep the tyres up to pressure.

Do I need presta or schraeder?
