Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Yes westwildcats is correct Balloon tires used the thinner 3/8 wide slightly longer rods. The newer style 1/2 inch tapered to 3/8 are all over the place. They make Schwinn approved sets available from bicyclebones. They never remade the older thinner ones they are harder to come by for sure.I like this idea. I was thinking about a set of 'rods for my DX, but maybe stick 'em on the Corvette until I can find a reasonably priced set of fenders for her.
