Hi. I'm wondering if using a 20 inch Eclipse (the super light ones) tube with a 24 inch tire is possible? The tire I'm using is a 24x2,25 inch tabletop, and the tube is only 20x1,5-2,125 (It's on sale). Is it way too small/narrow?

I have heard of people stretching a 20" tube into 22" tires, and 24" into 26" tires, but never 20" to 24". I guess you can try it; the worst that can happen is it explodes, which might cause you to crash.

Ok. Thank you for the answer. Think I will stay away from buying then. Wish they had the 24 inch version for sale as well. Those tubes are extremely light!

I have done it. It is a PITA but can be done. I have not tried that brand however.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a PITA?
