Newbi Tire tube Question

[wolfe99]

Just ordered the Mich pilot 150/60/r17 for my DRZ 400sm. But the site I ordered from didnt have the tube.. Does anyone know what tube I need for the wheel, and best place to get one? Thanks

I got my tubes (Michelin) from Forrest at Wheeling Cycle Supply.

do I get the same size as the tire.... or is there a different way of measuring it..

Does your original one have a hole in it? I just re-used my original ones when I changes tires.

I know my tubes are for 17" rims but unless I'm blind that's all I looked for was a

tube for the rim size. I'd re-use your old one. Sometimes I notice a shop won't let you use the old one again but I always tell them that if they want to put a new one in everytime they can pay for it cause the old one is just fine. Tell them to be carefull and if they pinch it they replace it for free.

ok thanks. Didn't know if I had to get one to match the tire or anything like that as far as size.. etc

Tube size should match the tire size. But there are not a lot of tubes available for 17" tires so you kind of have to use what you can get. Your original tube should be fine.
