What are the measurements printed on the tyre (in whatever units they are printed) or failing that the width of the rim and diameter of the bead seat? -- Tony "I did make a mistake once - I thought I'd made a mistake but I hadn't" Anon |

Best. B. Halsey-Russaouen http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/ The shop that employs him, Harris Cyclery, is located in West Newton, Mass. As a few posters pointed out, the store sells an extremely wide range of hard to find products, like odd sized tires for old folding bicycles. Sheldon Brown is also known for dispensing free advice by e-mail to anyone who contacts him, so if the store doesn't have the product he can probably help you find a source. -- mark |
