700c Tube - No Packaging

A Presta valve is a type of valve used on bicycle tires that is narrower and features a screw mechanism for better air retention. It's ideal for higher-end road bikes because it can handle higher pressures and is lighter than the more common Schrader valve. If you're looking for improved performance and efficiency on paved roads, a Presta valve is a great choice.

A removable stem allows you to take out the inner part of the Presta valve, making it easier to maintain or replace if it gets damaged. This feature saves you from having to buy a whole new tube, allowing for quick and cost-effective repairs, which is especially beneficial for avid cyclists.

The size 700 x 18 25c indicates that the tire has a diameter of 700 millimeters and a width range of 18 to 25 millimeters. To ensure compatibility, check your bike's rim specifications and consider your riding style. If you ride on smooth, paved roads, this size is typically suitable for road cycling.

Road cycling is designed for speed and efficiency on paved surfaces, making it ideal for racing and long-distance rides. The lightweight bikes used in road cycling allow for faster speeds and better performance on smooth roads, making it a popular choice for cyclists looking to improve their endurance and enjoy the thrill of the ride.

Tire width, indicated by the "c" measurement, affects your bike's grip, speed, and comfort. A wider tire (like 25c) provides better traction and comfort on rough surfaces, while a narrower tire is typically faster on smooth roads. Choosing the right width based on your riding style and terrain can enhance your overall cycling experience.

Not all pumps are compatible with Presta valves, as they require a specific type of nozzle. However, many modern pumps come with dual compatibility for both Presta and Schrader valves. If you have a pump that only fits Schrader valves, you may need an adapter to inflate your Presta valve tires. Always check your pump specifications to ensure compatibility.
