Inner tubes for fat tyres seem to be hard to come by here in the UK.

My rims are 26". Tyres are 26x4.4 inch Jumbo Jims. I'm trying to find suitable tubes so any recommendations would be welcome.

I run standard 26x2.4/2.75 MTB tubes, lighter than fatbike tubes, I've run Surly Nates, 45NRTH Dillinger 4, and Fat B Nimble tires with these tubes. I set it up that way early last year, and have over 2000 miles without an issue - not one flat [/knocking on wood]

However, your Jumbo Jims are wider than any of my tires.
