Bell's standard tube is listed for 26-inch tires from 1.75 to 2.25 inches wide.
Bell's self-sealing tube has the same listed 26 x 1.75-2.25-inch range and a Schrader valve.
Diamondback Diamondback Schrader Valve Bicycle Tube
A standard-tube alternative for a narrower stated 26-inch width range.
Both Bell tubes are listed for 26 x 1.75-2.25-inch tires and use Schrader valves. The standard tube costs less and has a documented 35 mm valve and 210 g listed weight. The self-sealing version costs more and lists its puncture-related design, but the catalog gives no valve length or weight for it. Choose based on the feature you need, not an assumption that self-sealing prevents every flat. Confirm the tire size, rim opening, and package quantity on the current listing before ordering.
We compared the selected catalog offers and their listed specifications. No hands-on testing was conducted; match tire size and valve type before purchase.
