The two most common types of valves for bicycle tubes are either Presta(narrow, common on road bikes) and schrader. Schrader is thicker, and has the same mechanism as a regular car tire valve. A shrader MTB tube is simply a tube with a Schrader valve.

∙ 14y agoThe difference is that the mountain bike tube is much burlier and wider than the dirt jump tube but may not be as strong in terms of hard hitting strength.
Yes you can.
If you want a mountain bike for trials, I would suggest any bike under 25lbs with non-curved tube frame, under 14 inch frame size.
You need one that match your tire size and your type of valve. The tire size is written on the tire sidewall. Doesn't have to be a perfect match in width, but the right diameter is fairly important. If the valve is the same type as on a car tire, then look for a tube with a "Schrader" valve. If it's a narrow thing, it's probably a "presta" valve.
The type of nozzle you need isn't determined by the tire, but by the tube. And you can put any kind of tube in any tire. You need to look at the tube to determine if it's a Schrader (like on a car), a Presta(narrower) or a Dunlop (unlikely). Schrader-to-Presta adapters are available at pretty much every bike store and only cost a few dollars.
The fork Crown is the part where the two fork legs are joined to the steerer tube, the part that goes through the head tube of the frame.
It's a bike frame that measures 18" from center of bottom bracket to top of seat tube. 18" would be just a tad shy of mid-sized.
