Just use a 20" tube, there isn't such a thing as a 19" tube.

Darren Bedford sells a 20x3.0 tube, otherwise just use any regular bike
tube you can find. The wider the better (20x2.25 if you can't find one
larger). I've heard of some trials riders using lawn tractor tubes as
well?

Aren't those a bit over-thick?

not if they're less than 2.5 or 3 inches across. especially for guys
like me that fold like crazy. but i'm 6'4 and 190lbs or so. which makes
the forces i put on such a small tire really sideways.

There is supposedly a scooter or moped tube size that is suitable.
That may be what you're thinking about. I haven't looked in to
figuring out what moped tire size it is or where to get one. I'm too
lazy. A good quality 20" BMX tube that is as as wide as you can find
will work well enough so I've never bothered with the moped or scooter
tube thing.

i think the moped size you need is 16 inch. they use a significantly
different measure than we do.
