This standard Brompton inner tube with schrader valve fits the standard Brompton 16 x 1 3/8 inch and 16 x 1.35 inch tyres
This 16 inch inner tube is supplied as shown - with no box - as supplied to us from Brompton
Since 2019 this has tube has been made for Brompton by IMPAC (a part of Schwalbe tyres) as shown in the lead picture
|
Note: From 2012 the Marathon supplied by Brompton and the Marathon Plus tyre are no longer 16 x 1 3/8 inches or 37-349, but 16 x 1.35 inches or 35-349 (slightly narrower) For these narrower tyres you could also use our favourite - the Schwalbe AV4 (which is suitable for both versions) - it will fit inside the tyre with more space to spare (when installing) making installation very slightly easier |

| Note: We suggest against using tyre levers when installing inner tubes and tyres to your Brompton. Although the tyre fitting may seem tricky, it's just technique to do it tool free - see the below videos for help. (Using tyre levers can often result in damage to the inner tube - pinching it when installing, or to the tyre bead, or both) |

In 2019 Brompton changed from a Kenda made tube to an IMPAC (a subsidiary of Schwalbe) made inner tube. The dimensions remain the same (the tube is slightly lighter than its predecessor)
From 2013-2019 this was a Kenda manufactured tube - this is still shown in some of the historical pictures
This inner tube fits ETRTO tyre size as shown below:
37-349 - 16 x 1 3/8 inch
Made for Brompton by IMPAC (a sister company to Schwalbe)
Previous version was made for Brompton by Kenda
Sorry - only available for shipping to European Union / European Economic Area countries
Note: This Brompton inner tube is also available to buy on Amazon (not listed by us - but they do seem to like our photos so much that they used them!) at a higher price - Amazon is not always cheaper
