I'm replacing the rear tire on my '09 Streetbob with the Dunlop K591, Since the wheel is spoked I need a tube, question is, what tube? The Dealer wants $42 for a tube but I found the tire at Tireexpress for almost half price, i wanna order the tube there as well but don't know which one.

in the TUBE Drop down menu there is "Standard" or "Heavy Duty"

Thanks,

FWIW, for bicycles, dirt bikes or street bikes, I always buy the thickest tubes. The weight difference can't be felt and the added insurance might pay off. Also, in mounting them, the heavier tubes were less likely to get a pinch flat.

 

Simply select a tube that your tire fits within the size range - in this case there is only one.......the 150-160-17.

 

Don't forget about the strap that covers the spoke nipples.

 

Cool, thanks a lot guys, When the dealer refereed to a Rubber Band, is that the Strap Nipple?

 

Rim strip is what you want, although in many cases those don't need replacement - if just protects the tube from the soke nipples.
