Flat again by morning?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat slow leak is usually a thorn you can't see. Bindii, goatheads and caltrop-type thorns are 3 to 4 mm long, and a standard bike tube is about 0.9 mm of rubber. They rarely come one at a time, so you patch one hole and the next thorn works through on the very next ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6725 Thorn Resistant Tube is heavy-gauge butyl, up to 3.7 mm thick through the tread section. Inside a decent tyre, that's more than 5 mm of rubber between the thorn and the air, so the thorn runs out of length before it gets there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it won't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo tube stops every puncture. Glass, wire and sharp sticks can still get through. This tube is built for thorns, and that's the job it does well. It's also heavier than a standard tube.

Match that number. For the valve, look at what comes through your rim now: a Schrader valve is the wide one that takes a service station pump, and a Presta valve is the narrow one with a small brass nut on top.
