Look Ma, No Hands!
This wheel (along with a rear wheel) came with a recently purchased project, and I'm trying to figure out what size tires would fit on here. I measured the rim diameter and I get 25", and the rims measure approximately 1" wide. I'm guessing a 700c x 32 tubular would work, but I really don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to stuff of this vintage. Also thought it was odd that while the rim is steel, there's a wood interior insert. I was considering rebuilding the wheel set with some new Stutzman rims, but I'd really like to keep everything as original as possible if I can. Are wheels like this typically considered safe to ride on (I mean, ignoring that fact that it's probably 90 years old)? I'll post photos below (excuse the focus on the first shot).
Thanks much,
Joe
