The manufacturer and the cost to the restorer. What size are you looking for. Roger

so is a Schwinn 26 x 1.75 tire 571 ETRTO?

 

[rhenning]

Should be a 559 ETRTO tire and would fit on a 26 inch S-2 or 26 inch mountain bike sized rim. Roger

I've used all manner of 1.75-1.95" from the bike shop or dept. stores that sell tires and tubes. I'm not sure I've ever seen the rims mentioned.

You aren't dealing with this situation for at least the last 45 years anyway, that I can recall.

My mom would put Schwinns and Huffys together for me from a bicycle junkyard and I used to be able to deal with changing tires and tubes much better before I injured my hand.

BTW they also make a 26 x 2 x 1/34 that will fit a Schwinn S-7. Same ISO but closer in width to a 26 X 2.125
