Hey mates,

Popped a front tire yesterday in the middle of a turn, took a small spill, everythings alright luckily.  Im looking for what size, dimension, brand of tube to  replace the busted tube with.  Any suggestions?

I am glad that you were not hurt. I have never really thought about inner tube brands. I have always just let the shop changing my tires use what ever they had in stock. I have never had an inner tube go bad unless it was damaged while being installed.

Glad you got away mostly unharmed. That could have been nasty!

Same as Tools,I've just always ran whatever was available. You can get heavy duty tubes for off road use. They're about 2 to 3 times thicker than normal tubes. But pricey.

Check that your rim strap and all your spokes are healthy. But it's possible that your tube dies just due to age, running under inflated,etc. Just be careful and try to find the source of the issue, if possible.
