Inner Tubes for Wider Road Tires
I’m running Conti GP5000 clincher tires in a 28mm width and am looking for reasonably lightweight inner tubes for same. I need 60mm valve stems as well. Is anyone aware of, or have experience with, inner tubes of this size? Confusingly, the Conti 28 tubes only fit up to a 25mm tire.

28mm is "wider"?
Anyways, how about the Schwalbe SV15 in 60mm: https://www.biketiresdirect.com/prod...tube?v=00060mm

Available with a 60mm presta valve, 28-32mm width (although you could just use the ones labeled for 23-25 too).

I just received some Conti 25-32 tubes (available with 42 or 60mm valves) from competitive cyclist. I was previously using 18-25mm tubes in my ~30mm (measured) tires and the only issue was that sealant didn’t work as well as it used to with ~27mm tires.
