Which tubes buy?

Hi, sorry for the newbie question but I'm not a mechanic and I need some help to buy tubes for my T7.

I'm not able to change tubes by myself but I'm preparing for a long trip and I would like to bring with me a set of spare tubes, so in case of a puncture I can use a repair spray can and inflate the tire enough to reach a mechanic and there make him change my tube.

In that case I don't want to wait in case he doesn't have the right tube for my bike, that's why I would like to bring with me spare tubes.

 

As far as I understood tires are

  • front: 90/90 R21
  • rear 150/70 R18

 

Can you give me exact product numbers for the tubes to buy?

I don't want any fancy heavy duty tubes, I mainly ride on roads with occasional light offroad, I made 45k Km with original tubes, mostly with Pirelli STR Scorpion tires and more recently with Dunlop TrailMax Raid, so probably OEM tubes would be perfect for me.

In any case preferably I would like to buy Pirelli or Michelin or some known brand tubes easily available in the EU.

 

Thanks for any info.

@Tasslehoff A quick search for Tubes in the Tires & Wheels sub-forum had quite a few threads pop up. Here's a 3 page thread on the subject with size suggestions near the bottom of page 1.
