200mm tire tube?

So I found a hoop 18x5.5 to lace to my stock rear street bob hub

Question is. Largest tube I find says its for a 180x18 tire

Anyone have a link to what tube I would run if I went with a 200x18 rear spoke rim?

Trying to go the cheap route so I'm looking to lace a hoop instead of buying a whole new rim

I'm not turning up anything either. Might be better to seal the rim.

Where did you get your rim? I'm in the market for a set of big hoops, too

I am getting HD wheels to make a 18x5.5 for me to run a 200. Any info on the tubes yet I have been searching but have found nothing

It's best to run a slightly narrower tube in your ties to keep the tube from folding during inflation. That tube should be just right.
I run a radial in the rear and use a radial tube that is very thick in the center to protect again spokes.
