    I'm About To Buy A New Front Tire. First Time With A Spoked Rim. I'm Pretty Sure A Spoke Takes A Tube. Does It Matter If U Use The Old. Or Replace It. If So By Looking At The Pictures In A Cataloge, There Are Many Variations. It's A Stock O3 Xlc 21" /90 Spoke Front. Any Help Please Before I Order Thinking I Know. Because I Won't Mount It For A Couple More Months, Due To Riding Conditions.

    if you want trouble free riding, and minimal dangerous conditions...use a new tube with the tire. they are not very expensive, well worth the peace of mind. also use a new liner...this goes between the tube and rim where the spoke nipples stick through. also thouoghly clean with a wire brush the inside of the rim...taking particular attention to the nipple area. ride safe!!!
