Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Are old wheels(balloon tire and middleweights) considered safe for occasional riding?
Yes, very much so.
The only thing not original about these wheels are the wheel bearing grease and the tires.
This rides and rolls better than new bikes I have ridden.
I put a couple thousand miles on this before I sold it. Aside from grease, tires and tubes, all original wheels.
