MAXXIS Detonator Slick MTB Tyre - What Tubes?

[BT180]

Hey Guys,

I just bought some MAXXIS Detonator Slick MTB Tyre - 26 x 1.50 inch from T7 (They're going cheap!) to whack on my MTB when commuting or for training when it's wet.

Question is can I run my current 1.90/2.125 tubes with these or do I need something narrower?

PS Here's the link to the cheap tyres if you're interested - http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/MXTYMN8DT/title/MAXXIS-Detonator-Slick-MTB-Tyre

Generally yes. As long as they fit in the tyre should be fine.

A 1.50 tube would be lighter though.
