What is my bicycles tire or tube size?
This question is also a very common even among some advanced cyclists in Oman. In an attempt to address our cyclist community in Oman which comprises of both Omani’s and expatriates/immigrants. In the following videos, we discuss how to find the information about the tire or tube size you need for your bicycle, right from the tire. Our videos are in English and Arabic (basic Arabic). We hope all will benefit.
In this video, we would like to address our local community on how to determine what information is needed in order to buy a new tube or tire for their bicycle. There is more information that could be added, but we wanted to make a short video. We hope this video will help our local cyclists especially when they visit us at the store to purchase tubes or tires
