I'm sure this question has been addressed, but the clunky search function wasn't any help in getting me to the multiple threads which I'm sure exist, so I apologize in advance.
So I've been lazy ever since switching over to Schwalbe marathons and let the bike shop put new tires and tubes on when they need it... those tires are just so damn tight and I hate being in the situation I find myself in tonight where I have no choice but to roll around on my flat left tire after pinching all four of the spare tubes I had lying around the house.
The bike shop changed my tires today with some new marathons and the tubes they used were 26x1-1.25 ISO 26/32 559/571. My wheels are 26" 590s.
I'm fairly sure the tubes they used were appropriate, but once I got home and aired them up I had a detonation of my left wheel about ten minutes after inflating it to 140psi. The tubes I had lying around the house (and seemed to fit rather well) were 650x 18c - 25c (26x1). But they were just some cheap super light weight tubes that I picked up from a bike shop years and years ago.
So what brand/size of tubes should I be using. I don't care a bit about rolling resistance, I just want the tube that is the best combination of durable, able to withstand high pressures (I run 140psi all the time) and easy to install (though I'm sure that's practically impossible with these goddamn tight, tiny marathon tires... I love them, but only when I'm not struggling to put them on).
Anyway I'm stuck without a working tube until midday tomorrow, so I was hoping you guys would have some suggestion as to what tube I should be using so I can tell the bike shop when I show up tomorow?
Also should I be worried about ruining my tires in the mean time. I am going to be rolling around on a flat just around the house, but I'll be going out to the car several times because I have to pack it up tonight for a trip out of town tomorrow. It'll probably get a half mile or so of rolling on it before I have a chance to change it.
