Inner tube help!!!??

[Amrit1714]

Hi all, this is my first post. Now, please excuse my stupidity if I'm asking something to which the answer is obvious. I promise I do have a a fairly good understanding of bikes

. Here's my question:

I have just got a new and my first road bike. The bike came with 700x23c tyres and the rims are as follows... 'Reparto Corse DRX4000 700CX2-14H F/V'. The inner tubes with the bike are 700x18/23c. I have bought some 700x25c tyres for the bike. Will these existing inner tubes be fine or do I need bigger ones? Basically, are 23c wide inner tubes fine for a 25c tyre?

Thanks

You should be fine but next time you buy some tubes get 23-28.

Welcome to the forum. You should be fine because they are designed to stretch but next time get 23 - 28.

If you hear a loud bang when inflating, you'll realise we were wrong!

Whereas simply typing a short and helpful reply would take less time than searching the forum, copying and pasting the result and then making the new member feel awkward.
@Amrit1714 your current tubes should be ok, but they will be at full stretch, so more vulnerable to punctures and chafing. Use them for the time being but treat yourself to a couple of 25/28s and carry them as spares.

Ok so they should be fine. Thanks for the help. Sorry I wasn't aware that there was already a post about it, I tried searching beforehand but didn't see. I've ordered some larger ones now as well that cover 25c so if anythings happens I'll be fine.

Glad you asked the question, @Amrit1714. I've learnt something along the way from Cubist, whom I applaud for a welcoming and helpful post.
