    trying to revive an old POS townie. It has 26x1 3/8 tires. The tire is "26 X 1 3/8", fits EA3 or E3 rims only (French/650A)"

    My question...do I have to run a 650A tube? If I have to run a 650A where do I get that?
    I plan on running a 26x1.25-1.5 tube. Will there be any issues?

    you can get the 26x 1 and 3/8 at most shops. i'd call around and save the gas $$ for moar bike parts

    you may be able to get by with the tube you have. give it a shot, if it doesnt work get the correct size.
