First step is to figure out if the bike has ISO 590-mm or 597-mm wheels. http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731°N, 83.985007°W Post Free or Die! |

Yes the bike has iso 590-mm. I can post pics of the wheel that I took on my phone if you want. |

Yes the bike has iso 590-mm. I can post pics of the wheel that I took on my phone if you want. The Sun CR-18 rim is available in that size in 32, 36, and 40-spoke drillings. You will likely have to have a shop (unless you want to learn to do it yourself) build these up with hubs and spokes of your choice. The Michelin World Tour is inexpensive (~$20) and is rated at 85 psi. The Panaracer Col de la Vie is high quality, but a bit pricy (~$35). -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731°N, 83.985007°W Post Free or Die! |

Here is Tom Sherman doing what he does best in all this world – posting technical crap which no one but nerds and geeks are interested in. As long as he behaves himself and does not get sidetracked into liberal-socialist-communist screeds, I will leave him alone and wish him the best. Ed Dolan the Great |
