Do you all recommend a specific brand of tire tubes for riding the Katy Trail? I need to replace my spares. I ride a hybrid-type bike, with Schwalbe marathon tires. I have never had a flat on many miles of the Katy, but did get some on city trails this summer.

Thanks!

If you used these tubes for a long time and just recently got flats, then I'd just get a new set of the same tubes.

Inner tubes move as the tire flexes and will eventually develop leaks. You have to replace them sometime. Some people put talc on the tubes to allow them to move with less friction.

I use schwalbe tires (Marathons, Big Ben, etc.) and find them to be the key element in flat protection.

I use brand name inner tubes like Giant, Specialized or Schwalbe.
