Inner tubes are available in three value types:
Good quality air tight tubes have to be inflated less. This means you can get straight on with your ride, rather than messing around inflating the tyres before you can start. (or have an extra 10 minutes riding / in bed)
AV = Auto Valve - The wider valve generally used on lower end bikes and on Brompton folding bikes - these are in a blue box
SV = Sclaverand Valve - Referred to as a racing / presta valve in the UK - these tend to be used on higher end bikes where thinner / lighter wheels needed a narrower valve - these are in a red box
DV = Dunlop valve - not so common now, as they are a bit more fiddly to look after - these are in an orange box and are becoming less available
40mm - the normal / common presto valve length
50mm - long length
60mm - extra long length
80mm - extra extra long length - for deep carbon rim wheels

12 Inch inner tubes from Schwalbe
As well as bikes, these are often used on push chairs / strollers
16 inch bicycle inner tubes are mainly used on folding bikes (e.g. Brompton - our speciality), childrens bikes and recumbent bikes.
Brompton folding bicycles (our speciality and best selling), use the xx-349 (ISO/ETRTO sizing) tubes such as QTUB, QTUBXL or AV4.
We have these inner tubes with three valve types:
Schrader / Auto / Car type valve - these are generally used on the Brompton bikes
Presta / racing type valves - these are thinner and the top has to be partially undone to allow inflation
Woods / Dunlop valve - old style valves, not seen much these days
