650B - 27.5 mtb tubes in Durham or Toronto GTA?

[morkys]

I know I can use a 26" tube but I want actual 650B tubes. I find 26" tubes make it a bit harder to install a tire, especially when the tire is a tight fit.

I am experimenting with 650B wheels and different tires on my bike so tubeless is not approriate.

I use 26" tubes on my 29er quite easily. Trick is to put just enough air in the tube that it holds its shape while your installing the second tire bead. I also do it because Im a cheap bastard with a stockpile of tubes from my 26er days.

I was probably trying to install with a smaller 26" tube. It looked a little small despite saying some measurements up to 2.1. Maybe I will look for a "bigger" 26" tube that looks bigger and/or has larger measurements listed. Still, it would be good to find the correct sized tubes.

just go tubeless and the problem disappears!

Testing fit of different tires so tubeless not convenient.

We have them in stock at Cycle Solutions now.

Ok thanks. I will keep that in mind.

The internet always has them. Just saying...

Norco, I guess Live to Play Sports now has a listing for them and a bunch of tires in their book so I'm sure dealers all have access to them now.

Yep, Norco has a ton of the Axiom ones, and Lambert has a ton of 'Evo' ones. Any store should be able to get them relatively quickly if they're doing orders this time of year.
