i have dropped a bollock and bought a redline proline expert with no tyres or inner tubes, now realising the rims are only 16.5 inches and not 20 inches!

A guy at alans bmx says ihe thinks it must be a micro bmx (whatever this may be)

I am new to all this so didnt realise the size at the time and have ordered 20 inch racing tyres and inner tubes!!! (yes i know i am a plant pot!!!)

Firstly, does anyone know where i can pick some tyres & inner tubes for these wheels & also spindles etc, or failing that, would 20 inch wheels fit this frame and forks and brakes???

Cheers dudes

Can't fully work out from your first post what you're on about (sorry), but reading between the lines sounds like you thought you had bought a Redline Proline Expert, but you've actually bought a Redline Micro Mini?

If so, the Redline Micro Mini which uses 18 x 1" tyres like these:

The tyres are a bit of a sod to get hold of over here (I have one of those bikes which belonged to my son and is now waiting for my daughter to grow into, which has a sliced tyre and I haven't found anyone over here who sells them). I don't think 20" wheels will fit that frame and fork as it's 18" wheel specific.

Cheers Jai. Just looked at the other thread. I agree with you, looks like a Redline Junior or Expert bike with the wrong size wheels.

It needs some 20" x 1&1/8 or 1&3/8 wheels, tyres and tubes and will be good to go then.

Edit: Apparently it's an Expert not a Junior, so I think it needs 20" x 1.5" wheels/tyres.
