Ok so I went out and got my bike from the shed, front tyre was completely flat, blew it up and it sounded like something was unravelling inside the tyre, im guessing a patch probably, anyways within about 10/15 mins it was completely flat

Looking to get a new inner tube rather than another patch my questions are:

1. on the tyre it says 28x2.30, I take it its 28 inch? and do I need to specify the 2.30 when buying a new one? or are they all that size

2. I have the schrader valves but they are threaded all the way down, what do I need to type into ebay other than schrader to get them?

Thanks

28 is the main critical dimension, I believe this is also the same as 700cc as well. Inner tubes cover a variety of widths so just got to check the 2.3 is within the range of the inner tube but as long as you have the 28"/700cc you should be fine.

Not sure on if the completely threaded valves have a certain term though

Last dimension on these is the length of the value which I assume would be completely threaded

Yeah was just explaining measurement. Check elsewhere though, Ebay isn't always cheapest

Go to any bike shop or supermarket etc to buy some bog standard inner tubes if you're not intending to do any serious biking. They all do the same job unless you're wanting to go proper MTB'ing.

I think the only difference, is that with the fully threaded ones, you get a small nut to hold the valve in place where it meets the rim.
