A bike question about tubes ?

Question

i have a roadmaster bike that has 26 inch wheels and the tube broke

i cant find another 26 inch tube anywhere so i was wondering can a 24inch tube fit my 26 inch tire?

Answer 1

Walmart sells 26 inch tubes.

Answer 2

Yes a 24 inch will do in a pinch so to speak, but I would get a 26" to replace it ASAP.

Answer 3

26 inch tubes exist. If you can't find them locally, you can order some online. I would not advise using a smaller tube. You could get by with a slightly larger tube in a pinch. But search a little and you'll find the correct size.
