Continental Compact 16 inch inner tube - Presta valve

16 x 1 3/8" - 16 x 1.75") Presta valve - 42mm length valve

Weight: 105g (according to our scales)

Sized to fit the following:

  • 32-305 -> 47-349 
  • 16 x 1 3/8 -> 16 x 1.75
  • 400 x 32A -> 400 x 47A

Common sizes in this range are:

  • 40-305 (16 x 1.5 inch)
  • 47-305 (16 x 1.75 inch)
  • 32-349 (16 x 1 3/8 inch) - the old Brompton green / kevlar tyre size
  • 35-349 (16 x 1/35) - as used on Brompton Marathon Racer and the Schwalbe 16 inch Marathon Plus

Confused by the size? It fits Brompton tyres! But please note it has a Presta 6mm valve so is only suitable for the T line Brompton or Brompton's fitted with the aero rims. Not suitable for standard Brompton rims as used on the A, or C line and most P Line Brompton.

Q: So - What is the purpose of a rim nut?

A: Bear in mind that unlike this Continental tube, some inner tubes don't have a rum nut - that's why we posed the question
The rim nut secures the valve into the rim

Your bike can be ridden perfectly safely without a rim nut

It comes in useful when installing a tyre or attaching a pump - as it helps stop the valve being pushed inside the rim With some rims there may be a rattle/noise if the valve is not fixed - that is why often valves without a rim nut are coated in rubber

The rim nut should only be tightened by hand. Don't tighten the it with pliers, as this could damage your inner tube

Q: What is the valve cap for?

The valve cap supplied with the inner tubes should be used, it keeps dirt of the valve 

Bicycle compatiblity includes:

  • Brompton T line Bikes
  • Some Brompton P Line bikes 

Fitting of the tyre / inner tube:

We recommend against using tyre levers when installing a tyre and tube, as it can cause damage to the tyre / inner tube or both. It may seem difficult or even impossible at first - but it is just technique, practice and patience

We made the below video to show the features of the Continental tyre and inner tube combination - note the video shows the Schrader valve!!!
