28-inch Inner Tubes

A bike inner tube is one of those parts you barely think about – until it fails. When that happens, having the right replacement makes all the difference. For 28-inch wheels, it comes down to three things: matching the tube to your tire width, choosing the right valve for your rim, and picking the material that fits how and where you ride.

Modern TPU inner tubes stand out for their extremely low weight and impressive puncture resistance. Classic butyl tubes remain the go-to choice for dependable performance at a fair price. And for riders chasing maximum efficiency, latex tubes deliver outstanding suppleness and low rolling resistance. Whether you’re racing on the road, commuting day in and day out, or riding a fully loaded e-bike, BIKE24 carries 28-inch bike inner tubes from trusted brands like Schwalbe, Continental, Tubolito, and Pirelli – built for every riding style.

Our passion for cycling shows in every detail:

• Huge selection: From ultra-lightweight to puncture-resistant, find inner tubes for every tire width, valve type, and material.
• Fast delivery: Your bike won’t keep still – and neither will we. Order today, ride tomorrow.
• Fair prices: Top quality from leading brands at attractive prices.

Choosing the right inner tube starts with the material. TPU, butyl, and latex differ significantly in weight, puncture protection, handling, and maintenance. Here’s a quick overview to help you decide.

Made from thermoplastic polyurethane, these tubes combine extremely low weight with high reliability.

• Weight: approx. 30–50 g – comparable to latex
• Puncture protection: Very high, handles small punctures better than traditional materials
• Air retention: Excellent, loses very little air over time
• Best for: Road, gravel, and performance-focused riding

The classic choice, known for durability, airtightness, and great value.

• Weight: approx. 60–250 g depending on version (lightweight to puncture-resistant)
• Puncture protection: Good to very good, depending on wall thickness
• Air retention: Excellent – the benchmark for reliable sealing
• Best for: Everyday riding, touring, trekking, commuting, and e-bikes. Lightweight versions suit road riding

Latex delivers minimal rolling resistance and high suppleness, but requires regular maintenance and is more sensitive than other materials.

• Weight: approx. 60–90 g – light and highly supple
• Puncture protection: Lower, more sensitive to punctures and aging
• Air retention: Moderate, requires inflation before every ride
• Best for: Riders focused on maximum efficiency – latex rolls measurably faster than butyl due to reduced casing deformation

To make sure your new inner tube fits properly and performs reliably, check these key points before buying:

• Tire width: The inner tube must match your tire width. You’ll find the size printed on the tire sidewall (for example, 28-622 for a 28 mm tire). Most tubes cover a defined width range.
• Valve type: Presta / Sclaverand (SV) valves are standard for road and gravel bikes. Schrader (AV) or Dunlop valves are commonly used on trekking, city, and e-bikes.
• Material: Butyl is the durable all-round choice. TPU offers ultra-low weight with high puncture resistance. Latex delivers the best rolling efficiency but loses air faster and requires more care.
• Valve length: Standard rims typically use 40–42 mm valves. For deep-section or aero rims, choose 60–80 mm valves so you can easily attach a pump head and inflate the tire without hassle.

At BIKE24, you’ll find the full range of inner tubes for 28-inch wheels – from modern TPU tubes and lightweight road butyl options to robust, puncture-resistant models for e-bikes.
