So i've got 5 or 6 old 26" inner tubes, they will fit on a 27.5 wheel wont they? I havent got to go throw them away and buy 27.5 tubes do i?

I mainly certain they'll fit, reassurance please?! 😳

You'll be fine. In fact some Mavic tubes I have, have 26" or 27.5" written in the side!

They fit, but aren't ideal when seating the tyre.

The tube doesn't really sit in the balloon bit when your mounting it. It hugs the rim. I found it just slightly annoying enough for me to buy a couple of 650B ones (for spares as I run tubeless).

Well i figured id buy 1 27.5er to throw in my pack, its the faff factor if your stuck out in the rain/mud/dark thats not fun.

Will keep using the 26's to use from home then

I've only ever used 26" tubes on my 29er. They'll be fine on a 650b
