Tube advice urgently needed!

[Cyclist33]

i am stuck at my sisters with a busted rear inner tube, well in fact i dont even have that coz ive just thrown it away in despair.

anyroadup, all ive got now is an inner tube that's fresh never used, but its rated 35/43mm according to the label printed on its rubber. my tyre is a 23mm folding Durano S.

will it be safe to ride with that tube inside that tyre??

thanks

Try it , but I think your problem will be getting all of the tube inside the tyre without any pinches. If you can get it all in then I would go for it.

If you are desperate you can probably get it to fit (assuming its a 700c) be careful about pinching it due to the excess rubber and it will be a tight fit too. Not ideal though but it may get you home with care!

Yeah I done this loads on my last bike , just make sure it doesn't get nipped and don't twist it putting it in
