Could you please clarify if the inner tube is a heavy duty type with a bike valve or the kind that can be blown up by mouth please?

I ordered this and it arrived last week. Cheap blow up by mouth tube. It is not the durable one I was looking for.

It is bike tube like inside the ring and you blow it up, not a pump.thank you

Ignore one of the below answers. It CANNOT be blown up by mouth. I love this float and my second child will be using it this summer. It lasts.

It cannot be blown up by mouth, it has a bike valve, however it is not as heavy duty as I would have liked.

The bike's tube has Schrader type of valve. So you will need a pump with adapter for Schrader type.

These are big, and to orally inflate you would hyperventilate. We use a compressor, but I think it is a normal valve.

The one I bought had a standard Presta valve. I do not know what you mean by "standard internal valve as opposed to one outside the stem." My complaint with the product I received was that the tube was about 3 inches longer than could be fitted into the tire. I wrote up a complaint against the not-clear-to-me sizing specs. on the package and advertizing. After I talked it over with the bike people at REI the tube SHOULD have fit in the tire. That it didn't was the company's mistake. Because I am not yet familiar with complaints to the manufacturer and returns through Amazon, I just ate the cost and loss. -- I also do not understand your "fits the 32 tire" question.

You will not be able to reuse the mtb inner tubes. Go with the right size tubes.

The tube has sort of a stacked valve system. You remove the whole thing and the entire thing can be inflated with a shop vac (and capped quickly) or deflated within seconds by squeezing out the air. On top of that cap is another cap that can be unscrewed. This is a one way valve that allows you to blow up by mouth or shop vac, but the air won't leak out, so you can get the tube really firm.

Susan, this is a large volume, low pressure pump made for inflatable pillows, mattresses and rafts, and similar inflatables. There are no fittings for a inner tube valve. While you might be able to rig something up you might find that reaching a 60 lb pressure to be impossible with this pump.

Actually it can be blown up with your mouth, the valve twists open, and twists close. But it comes with a small pump.

Would be overkill for bicycle. Would only fit shrader valve. They have bicycle specific kits that don't have plug kits that would be better.

There's a little round opening on the top (where the logo is) that has a plastic part that I think you can use one of those needle valves that you get for bicycle tires.

Brass; I've never had any problems with the pumping tube. Its really a good model. I buy about 10 of these a year for my business.

With the old fashioned schraeder valve, you remove the stem and squeeze enough green stuff in to completely coat the insides of the tube -- don't overload the tube. With a 26 inch Presta valve, you buy ready made tubes with the green stuff factory loaded. For big road/race tires, you can't use the product at all because of the high pressures, which would blow out all the green before the hole could congeal and seal. With 29er mountain bikes, you can't buy ready made and preloaded tubes, so you have to make a cut in the tube, load though the cut, and then use a standard patch kit to seal the cut you have made. ~Keith With the old fashioned schraeder valve, you remove the stem and squeeze enough green stuff in to completely coat the insides of the tube -- don't overload the tube.

Yes, I have been using this on my mountain bike for a year. It works well with both valves, I've had to switch it on the trail to fill a friends tire and it only took seconds.

It's a very long stem vàlve, forgot the name of it, but I always take the old one with me to the bike store for replacement. Hope this helped.

Mine blew on the first trip. I bought tube on line and put it into the tire. It has worked fine since then.

In the center of the valve where you inflate the tube, there should be a little pin. If you use a sturdy piece of plastic, or a tool used for removing tire from bikes to change out bike tubes, you can empty the air from the tube quite easily. Just make sure to hold the valve steady so that you don't cause any damage to the tube.

No. There are only two types of valves in modern bicycle tubes, Schraeder (like car tires) and Presta. All Schwinn tubes will be one of these two. This pump can be easily used with both types. Just put the valve in the pump hole that fits, lock it on, and pump.
