Ok, How Many Here Have A 30" Wheeled Pre-toc

Interesting Blue Streak.... Had not seen that one before. I'll have to add that to the all wooden rims manufacturers info thread. TY. Anyone have pics of their 30 inch rims and bikes?

Here is my long stalled Cushion Tire from ca. 1892. I will probably get Greentyres from the UK when it is back on the road:

I don’t think stretching robertdeans will work you might be in trouble doing so. Dangerous in other words... :0

It works fine, in every case

What is a 4” drop, referring to the 30” rim size?

My dad's collection has a couple. He's got a G&J as well as a cushion tire safety with a 30" front wheel.

Here is my (used to be.... sigh) 30" full track racing machine, incomplete.

Never did find out the make. Fauber crank, 30" X 1" laminated wood rims, fixed/fixed drive. Original colour was deep maroon with dark green head, pinned in gold.

30" rear and 32" front. Tires were installed long ago and look to be attached with a center wire.

I think this thread needs a bump! Lets see more 30" bikes!!!! Here is mine, I believe it to be a Hibbard Spencer Bartlett as it share a lot of characteristics of a HSB Ajax. Correct me if I am wrong!!

I've had a few Hard Tire Safety's. They had 30" tires, outside diameter. The Lozier Yost had a skinnier tire in front, with the rim slightly narrower and taller because the rubber was a smaller diamond. All of my HTS's had rubber similar to high wheelers and wheelchairs.
