New 26x1/34 Tires

[the2finger]

Who makes a 26x1/34 tire for a Schwinn S7 rim? I want to ride my '66 Panther but the original Schwinn Typhoons are shot. I read a Duro 26x1.75 will not work

Thanks, Mike. Should these tires be at the Long Beach bike swap meet this Sunday?

Kenda and Cheng Shin make tires to fit S7 wheels.the 26x2x1-3/4 tires are a bit beefier and really fill the fenders nice.they also offer the standard 26x1-3/4 tires.

The most important # is the bead diameter, most modern tires have this # on them. The S-7 takes 571.
You do not want 559, which is what 26 x 1.75 measure.

The middleweights did not use the Typhoons, it used the Westwind, and later I believe they used the tire called the Superior.
