Cream or white 28" Tires

[Luckykat32]

I agree with you, Gary, and Bri...these are probably the best I've seen in ahile...& will look good on a black rim.

THANKS!

Retrocykel BEADED-EDGE TIRE 28 X 1 ½ (CREAM). I haven't tried them but they look great in cream or red. $28 each.

I have this westwood rim from Classic Cycle in Germany: http://classic-cycle.de/en/Ready-Spanned-Wheels-Rims-Parts/Rims/Westwood-Rim-black-28-x-1-1-2-36-holes.html

I assume that this "beaded edge" tire won't work on my rim? Any input?

It will work the ISO is correct. Both are 635.

But there's no lip on the inside of the rim, you'll need a steel bead tire

The retrocykel tires look like they have a kevlar bead that is lighter and stronger than a steal bead with the advantage of being foldable. Once you have seated them on the rim they are not going anywhere. You may want to watch them with that style rim as you inflate them and make sure they stay in place as the pressure goes up.

How about these? They are 700c x 50mm.
I think the reflective strip and the script can be removed.

I like the look of those too. They are probably too wide though. My 700-38c wtb pathfinder tires only have about 3/16" clearance in the chain stays.

I may be able to shoehorn them on my 1899 Iver Johnson.
Maybe I can find someone on The Cabe that wants to sell me some Electra Amsterdam tires?

Gary, so what rims can be used with these tires that look like a steel clad rim? I was going to run the Velocity p35 rim with the Electra Amsterdam tires on a handfull of early bikes i have laced into early hubs but now that i read that the Electra tires are discontinued....i'm STUCK! Where do i go from here?

These are the right size

Approximately 1.5" tire. I've never used them, but they're cheap enough to try!

I like the chevron pattern of the WTB Pathway but they're black only.
