• 16-Inch Inner Tubes

    Discover our full range of 16-inch inner tubes, designed to get your tyres back on the road with complete confidence. This wheel size can be misleading: depending on your bike or equipment, the internal rim diameter may vary (ETRTO 305, 349, and more rarely 330 or 340). Whether you are fitting a kids’ bike, a folding bike, a bike trailer, a pushchair, or a model with extra-wide tyres (up to 16x4.00), you will find the correct match here. Simply check the size printed on the sidewall of your tyre (in inches or ETRTO) and choose the right inner tube without guesswork.

Why choose our 16-inch inner tubes?

The 16-inch wheel size is one of the most technical on the market. Two tyres marked “16 inch” may in fact have different internal diameters, making compatibility a common source of error. This collection has been carefully structured to include all our 16-inch inner tubes, covering both the most common standards and more specific formats — including wide mini-fat tyres up to 16x4.00.

Which vehicles are these inner tubes suitable for?

Depending on tyre width and, crucially, the ETRTO diameter, our 16-inch inner tubes are suitable for:

  • Kids’ bikes (learning bikes, school bikes, everyday use)
  • BMX bikes and small leisure bikes
  • Folding bikes (including models using ETRTO 349, often referred to as “large-format 16-inch”)
  • Bike trailers for children or cargo
  • Pushchairs and running buggies fitted with pneumatic wheels
  • Specialised small bikes and certain extra-wide tyre setups (mini-fat)

How to choose the right 16-inch inner tube (key point: ETRTO)

To order the correct inner tube, always rely on the ETRTO marking printed on the tyre sidewall (format XX–XXX).

  • The first number indicates the tyre width (in millimetres)
  • The second number indicates the internal diameter (rim diameter, in millimetres)

1) “Classic” 16-inch standard: ETRTO 305

This is the most widespread format, commonly found on kids’ bikes, many bike trailers, and a large proportion of wide tyres.
Typical inch sizes (depending on width): 16x1.75, 16x2.125, up to 16x3.00 and even 16x4.00.

2) “Folding bike” 16-inch standard: ETRTO 349

Mainly used on high-quality folding bikes.
Important: an inner tube designed for ETRTO 305 will not fit a 349 tyre (and vice versa).
Typical inch sizes: 16x1 1/8, 16x1 1/4, 16x1 3/8, etc.

3) Less common standards: ETRTO 330 and 340

These rarer sizes appear on specific setups and sometimes on older equipment. This category also includes compatible solutions for these dimensions whenever available.

Valve type: Presta or Schrader — what should you choose?

Before purchasing, check the rim drilling and the valve type of your current inner tube:

  • Schrader valve (car-type): wider, commonly found on kids’ bikes and leisure-oriented setups
  • Presta valve: slimmer, frequently used on folding bikes and performance-focused builds

Practical tips to prevent punctures and ensure a smooth installation

  • Always inspect the inside of the tyre for thorns, glass or debris before fitting a new tube
  • Check the condition of the rim tape — damaged rim tape is a common cause of unexplained punctures
  • Slightly inflate the inner tube before installation to avoid pinching
  • Follow the recommended tyre pressure indicated on the sidewall
