Yep, mine is a classic which is why I asked. I assumed that spoked rims would need a tube. Thanks for the info!

The OP has a classic too, so I am guessing he kept the same tube.

As I understand it; the tube and rim strap needs to be at least inspected at every tire change.

I replaced my tube since I had the tire off anyway. Old one was fine but you never know.

You said it felt a little different, can you elaborate a bit more on that?

Thanks!
Doc

Maybe I was thinking too much the first couple of rides and just thought something was different but when I rode into work this morning I forgot all about the tires and didn't feel any difference at all. Maybe I am used to whatever minor affect the tires make.
