I'm a bit bemused as they're all listed as 700c (apart from Merlin who have them as 28") .... but all the rubbish after the 700c ??

correct me if im wrong, but i think theyre road tubes, so wont really be wide enough for mtb tyres.

you could always ask the seller and see what he says.

26" tubes work fine as it goes...

The "rubbish after the 700c" is the recommended tyre width - in millimeters. So, from your first link, the 700x35-43C is suitable for a 29er tyre up to around 1.7"

Clubber, 26" tubes work fine in a 29er ?

weeksy - yes. pump them up a bit and they get big enough to fit in the Tyre, get the bead on and go.

no need if you only ride 29ers but.if you're nlmore normal it saves having to have two different sizes of tubes.

of course I'm tubeless these days ... ๐Ÿ˜‰
