Just get a standard 27.5 tube, it'll work fine. Mucky nutz do a fat fender, might be a bit big though.

Ive run a 26x2.3 in a 4" tyre before, it'll work.

Yeah, std 26" fine. Inflate one outside of a tyre to prove it!

Try inflating the tube outside the tyre, just on its own. It'll go up pretty big!

Not trolling, genuine question: what about the tubes it came with?
