Any recommendation for a good 22 x 1.75 tube? Luckily my flat was in the front tire as changing the rear with a mounted Conestoga is a bit tricky.

I'm going to try the Dan's Comp brand (or likely, what they just sell as the house brand) in the 2.1-2.4. https://www.danscomp.com

WTP also has a smaller 1.75 tube:

I think the S&M brand also has a 1.75 tube (Dan's seems to only have 2.1-2.4), and they're at least more expensive that most tubes, so I'd hope they're actually better.

There's also these $34 (!) tubes form Tubolite https://www.danscomp.com/tubolito-tubo-22-24-bmx-inner-tube-schrader-1.5-2.5-33000098/p1421775?v=1329365

UPDATE. I knew I read it somewhere, so I got out my Tannus installation guide and on page 3 under Tips For Installing Tannus Armour it states (It is common for the Amour to compress over time. It still is providing shock absorption and puncture resistance but will perform better when properly maintained. To minimize compression deflate the tires while not use. This allows the Armour compound to rebound to provide ideal performance.) So does that mean when your not riding your bike, your suppose to let the air out of the tires? I'm sorry but that's not happening. I don't know how everyone else feels, but if I would have known that earlier, I would not have purchased the Armours.
