Skinny tyres/tubes
« on: September 18, 2014, 03:48 PM »
JT's got these 1 1/8 tyres on ebay. 

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=121133639569&alt=web

Are these the right ones for 1 3/8 rims or do I need 1 3/8 tyres ?

Thanks

Brummie Dave taught me well !!

Nick the only difference is the profile is slightly lower , ie it's like fitting a 1.5 tyre instead of a 1.75 to a 20 x 1.75 rim  ;)

These are the very same tyres when fitted...... I've seen 1 3/8 tyres fitted on 1 1/8 rims so i'd imagine they'd go he other way no problem. They are mega skinny... i bought 2 pairs, although i'm going for 1 3/8 on my next build.
