Hi Ben,
I have a Bontrager tube in front of me:
700 x 18c - 25c / 36mm presta
I use them with Velox rim tape and get them from my LBS: Livermore Cyclery in Livermore, California. They always have a good stock and the 36mm presta looks fine with our old stuff ;^)
Regards,
Marc St. Martin Livermore, California USA
