I have been given a 20 year old Raligh prestige pioneer bike never used since brought, needs new tyres and tubes the size is 28x 15/8 x 13/8 (700 x 35c ) the valve is a presta.
I am looking for the cheapest tyres I can find but dont want to end up with total useless rubbish that constantly picks up punctures or somthing. When I look on Halfords for 700x35C tubes I get a shreader valve hit for that size but for a presta valve I get 38-45c. The valve in it at the moment is a presta so I am guessing that the wheel is too thin to fit a shreader ? And will the 38-45c fit.
It may help to explain the riding I will be doing, mainly hard cycle paths (tarmac ), canal tracks a little road.
Any help and advice appreciated.
