Sportaid Heavy Duty Wheelchair Tube 24 x 1-3/8 in, Schrader

Last updated: 5 October 2026

The 24 x 1 3/8 in tire, marked 37-540, is the standard fit on a large share of everyday and hospital-style manual wheelchairs. This heavy duty tube is sold as a tougher alternative to the regular tube in the same size and has a Schrader valve. The retailer does not publish a wall thickness, weight or brand for it, so the only confirmed facts are the size, valve and heavy duty grade.

Sportaid Heavy Duty Wheelchair Tube 24 x 1-3/8 Schrader (2553): common questions

How thick is the tube wall?

The retailer page does not give a figure for this size.

Is there a standard version?

Yes. A regular 24 x 1 3/8 in Schrader tube is listed by the same retailer at a lower price, and we can quote it.

Will it fit a 24 x 1 in tire?

No. It is sized for the wider 37-540 tire.
