12" inner tube on 14" wheel hub?

[jimmyhackers]

i have a hub motor from an electric unicycle. it has/needs a bent valve on the inner tube.

but i can only find 12" inner tubes with a bent valve?

will it fit or do i have to keep searching?

TIA

Just ask your SO if she can squeeze into a size 2 when she's a size 8...she might be able to fit but she'll be freaking pissed you asked her to and She probably won't be able to move without tearing something....thats my best annology for what your asking to do.

i kind of figured so....im finding it rather hard to find a 14" innner tube with a 90 degree bent valve for less than an extortionate price.

i can get a 12 inch bent valve for less than 4 quid.....but not a goddam 14inch

little help searching guys? (im in the UK)


at this rate i think id be better off ordering a straight schrader valve 14" tube and bashing a space out of my rear swing arm with a hammer.

lets hope the puncture repair i have done lasts forever....or at least untill i/you find a reasonable replacement.....so i wont have to do that

Are you looking for a moto tube (14" wheel diameter) or a bicycle tube (14" tire outer diameter, roughly 10" wheel diameter)?

im looking for a bicycle tube i believe. the wheel hub uses a bicycle tyre thats sized 14x1.25. (road smooth )

i will be replacing the tyre with a 14x1.75 (off road knobbly)

I have used 26" tubes on 29" (700c actually) twice and it's worked. The right sized tube would be better of course, but I'd bet you'd have no problems.

i think ill get a 12" bent valve and a 14" sraight at 3.50 a pop and see which works best.
