'Lil Knee Scuffer
Hi,

Have any of you tried the 27 x 1-1/4 inch new road tires on the 25 inch wood rims for 28 inch wheels? I saw a set mounted on a bike on ebay and the seller said they were mounted on a 25 inch rim.

They run about $60 a set and would be a cheap alternative if they work.
Thanks!
 
Smaller Tires on 25" Rims

Haven't tried it and I saw that bike too on Ebay. - you could tell that the tires were small relative to the frame. I was going to ask the seller if the tires/innertubes flopped around? I suspect that they would move on the rims. It's a novel idea in lieu of paying $200+ bucks for a set of pnuematics.


Best,


Juanitosan
 
only thing that will work alone this line is using tufo tires--they will fit.
 
Sometimes a 27" clincher tire (normal tire with a tube) will fit on a wood rim, if it is a clincher style rim, aka Gormully and Jeffries style). If it is a glue on type, you need to use a singletube or modern tubular tire such as a Tufo.
