my boss has bought a Kickr Snap to put his T-130 on.

I've got a spare wheel here in 142x12 he can use, but is 27.5 / 650B.

He's bought a turbo tyre https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tacx-Trainer-Tyre-1-25-Inches/dp/B071JF635P

So 27.5 and 1.25"

It seems tough to find a 650b based road tube at short notice on Halfords/LBS, so would i be easier throwing on a 700c and shoving it in, or a 26" and stretching it out.

I was thinking a 26" in a thin ish tube would work best ?

26" should be fine if it's similarly low volume.

hard to find... 1.5-2.1 in a 26" is about the best i can see.

That one should be fine. You just don't want it so big that it runs out of space before it's actually inflated fully..

yeah totally agree on that side of things... tricky to find anything locally that's better.

Specialized have arguably a more suited one, but sadly not in their store.

I've got a right width but in a 700c as well which i'll take over.
