Overview

Wheelchair 24 Inch Sizing in the CST C3E25 Scooter Tube

The CST C3E25 Scooter Tube is a 24 x 1 replacement built to the 25-540 ISO size, the 24 inch standard used on wheelchairs and many mobility scooters. That ISO number matters more than the 24 inch label on the box. A 24 inch BMX or kids bike wheel is usually 507 mm, and a 540 mm tube will not fit it, so read the number on your tire sidewall before you order. Wall thickness is 0.97 mm and the valve shaft is smooth.

A standard Schrader valve means any floor pump, hand pump, or gas station air hose will inflate it, with no adapter and no special pump head. That is exactly why Schrader turns up on mobility equipment, where the person topping off a tire should not need a specialty tool to do it. The tube is butyl, which holds air well and patches with an ordinary patch kit. If you are unsure which 24 inch size you are on, check the ETRTO number on the tire sidewall, or send us a photo of it and ask us.

Will the CST C3E25 fit a 24 inch bike wheel?

The CST C3E25 fits 24 inch rims built to a 540 mm ISO diameter, which is the wheelchair and mobility standard. Many 24 inch bicycle wheels, including BMX and kids bikes, use a 507 mm rim instead, and this is the wrong tube for those. Read the ISO number printed on your tire sidewall, which shows as width then diameter, for example 25-540.

What tire size does the CST C3E25 tube fit?

The CST C3E25 is labeled 24 x 1 and built for a 25 mm ISO width on a 540 mm rim. It suits the narrow 24 inch tires used on manual wheelchairs and mobility scooters in that range.

What kind of pump does the CST C3E25 need?

The CST C3E25 uses a standard Schrader valve, the same type found on car tires. Any floor pump, hand pump, or gas station air hose with a Schrader head will inflate it, and no adapter is needed.

Is the CST C3E25 a bicycle tube or a wheelchair tube?

CST builds the C3E25 for wheelchair and mobility scooter wheels, and it is sold as a scooter tube. It works on any 24 inch rim built to a 540 mm ISO diameter, whatever the device happens to be.
