This might be a dumb question but is there a way to tell a S7 vs S2 apart. Also can you put 26x2.125 on a S7 wheel?
I bought a '62 Fleet. It has S7 wheels and the 26x1.75 tires. I just bought a '80 cruiser and I am not sure what wheels it has. They are not stock (older wheels but stamped made in china). It has 26x1.90 tires. I measured the width of the wheels (fleet and cruiser) and they both are around 1.4". I also have a Nirve beach cruiser with 26x2.125 tires and the wheels are 1.3" wide.
I guess what I need to know is......I want to put balloon tires on the cruiser. S2 wheels are hard to find, what other choices are good? I am not trying to restore the bike but I want it to have a vintage feel. Whatever wheels I choose, I am going to put a SA 3-speed hub in it.
