19-24 latex tubes with 700x28 tires
Is anyone running the smaller (20-23) latex tubes with the wider tires. I have wider rims and run 700x28 conti tires. I read somewhere that you shouldn't use the smaller latex tubes with the wider tires. I've run the smaller butyl tubes with wider tires with no problem. For some reason the 25-28 latex tubes are harder to find and much more expensive than they once were.

I've done it without any problems.
I wouldn't recommend using the smaller tubes with any tires much larger (say, 32 or 35), though I've done that in a pinch as well.

if you start getting more flats with the smaller tubes in there would be when I'd start looking for 28c latex.
