GordonG Sep 2017 12:30pm, 11 Sep 2017 7,231 posts	0 GordonG hi quick question about inner tubes. replacement tubes for my bike (700 x 25c) come in two sizes: 700 x 20-25c and 700 x 25-32c. What are the dis/advantages between the two sizes for my bike, or so long as they fit does it not matter? ta

Opposite if it's a hybrid, you might want to go to wider tyres. Wider one is around 30g per tube heavier which would be all the reason I'd need to go for the narrower one
