My kid's bike's tire says 24x1.8 and I need to replace the tube. My
local shop sold me a tube that says this: 24x1.5/1.75. Does that mean
it's ok for 1.5-1.75 width, but not for this tire? Or is the extra 0.05
inconsequential? The bike is a Specialied Hotrock.

Let's put it this way: 0.05 inches is less than the thickness of a dime.
I think the rubber can handle that. :-3)

Inconsequential, as long as the valve type matches the hole in the
rim.

In the words of Emily Litella, never mind.
