27"x 1 1/4" tyres
I need to but a new tyre for my 27" x 1 1/4" wheel. The tyres I have are
Michelin and from the memory they were called international or continental. The are yellow/brown side wall with black tread, the tread pattern was continuous lines which went round the circumference of the tyre and not zig zags. Is there a comprehensive list of available 27 x 1 1/4 tyres anywhere? What is the most suitable tyre for touring type evening/ weekend rides (no panniers)? Where can I buy well priced tyres and tubes on line or by mail order? Thanks Ian |

Is there a comprehensive list of available 27 x 1 1/4 tyres anywhere? Unfortunately not. Very few models are still being made, it's mainly a question of finding what old stock dealers and shops have left. What is the most suitable tyre for touring type evening/ weekend rides (no panniers)? I used to use the Hutchinson Kevlar 27x1/14" for the same sort of rides but I'm not sure if it's still avaialble. Most of the ones from the suppliers mentioned below would probably do. Michelin World Tour gets recommended sometimes but I've never been too impressed with it myself. The casing or rubber isn't very tough yet it's not light or fast either - best of no worlds, IMO. It is cheap, though, and might be ok for your rides. Schwalbe Marathon has a v good reputation. Where can I buy well priced tyres and tubes on line or by mail order? 27" tyres: local bike shop http://www.edinburgh-bicycle.co.uk http://www.sjscycles.com/store/vIndex.htm (£5 postage on sub £50 orders) http://www.parker-international.co.uk/wheels.htm http://www.settlecycles.co.uk/shop/ (£10 min order for free post) Tubes: http://www.mwdyason.ltd.uk/shop.asp (free post) www.ebay.co.uk http://www.settlecycles.co.uk/shop/ note. 700c tubes will fit 27" tyres (though 700c tyres will not fit 27" rims). ~PB |

Continental is also a tyre manufacturer. I'm not aware of a Michelin Continental or a Michelin International. That's not to say they don't exist of course. The are yellow/brown side wall with black tread, the tread pattern was continuous lines which went round the circumference of the tyre and not zig zags. For riding on the road, even when it's wet, tread pattern is not important. Generally the less of it the better. Is there a comprehensive list of available 27 x 1 1/4 tyres anywhere? I'm not sure about that either. It's easier to find lists of tyres by make and model and then check to see what sizes each is available in. What is the most suitable tyre for touring type evening/ weekend rides (no panniers)? Continental Top Touring, Continental Ultra Gatorskin, and Michelin World Tour are all well regarded and all available in 27 X 1 1/4. This size is also sometimes referred to under a different standard as 32-630. They are the same thing. Where can I buy well priced tyres and tubes on line or by mail order? There are a number of places. www.wiggle.co.uk might be a good one to start at. -- Dave... |

They're available in 27 x 1 1/4. the choice really isn't all that bad. 27" rims are getting rare and expensive though, so watch out for potholes! |

Sorry, deal's off. I've just found a bad cut in it. That would have been v embarrassing if I'd sold it without spotting that! Shame because the tread is hardly worn. ~PB |

If you're still after 27" stuff I have the following for sale because, after a serious frame inspection last night, I've decided my old bike is beyond economical repair. All these bits are completely unused and were bought as "insurance" against the stuff becoming unavailable in futu 4 x Continental Supersport tyres in 27" x 1 1/8" (retail at £12 each - I'll take £2 each) 4 x Specialized Turbo R tyres (folding bead) in 27" x 7/8" (retail at £20 each - I'll take £2.50 each) 2 x alloy rims with eyelets, 36 hole drilling, I'll take £10 the pair. The rims are particularly hard to get for sensible money these days. Postage at cost if you're interested. Roger |
