Tyres and Inner Tubes

[FlatTyre81]

Hi,

I recently bought a pair of Schwalbe City Jet 26 x 1.50 for my Mountain bike, to give me a slicker tyre to use on the road. Following the advice from an online bike shop I purchased (elsewhere due to lower price) a pair of Schwalbe AV12A inner tubes (26 x 1.0-1.5)

Unfortunately the first pair went missing in the post, and having resent them to me, the seller has now sent me a pair of AV13 inner tubes (26 x 1.50 - 2.50).

What I wanted to know, is would these still be suitable for my tyres and would there be any pros/cons to using the AV13 rather than the AV12A?

If the tyres are 26 x 1.50 and the tubes are 26 x 1.50 - 2.50 then there shouldn't be a problem. The 'larger' tubes might make getting the tyres on the rims a little more difficult though.

That's great, thanks.

Managed to sort a replacement pair of tubes in the end.
