Yea, I'm looking for replacement tubes and a new "spoke strip." What size tube do I need? It seems from the tire thread that the tubes for this particular tire size are designated differently (inches instead of the tire dimensions, maybe?).

I'm likely going to be taking the tire to a shop to have the tube and spoke strip replaced, but I'm probably going to replace the spoke before hand so I don't have to pay them to do it. Worse comes to worse the spoke nipple will fall out and I'll have to have that done anyway.

Also, does anyone have any experience with the non-OEM tubes? Bikebandit has some pretty cheap tubes compared to the OEM tube.
