Tyres for 28" westwood rod brake wheels

[diarmuid c]

Id like to purchase wide tyres for my BSA military bike.
28 X 1 1/2 42 635 or 28 x 1 1/2 44 635 or possibly wider up to 47 without looking like a mountain bike tyre

I purchased Continental 28 x 1 1/2 42 635 tyres from sjs.co.uk but these will not fit the rims.

Can anyone tell of a website that might be able to supply these please?

Thank you

Careful with the 28X1-1/2 tire sizing. If your rim is stamped 635, then 635 will fit. There is a 28X1-1/2 that was a Canadian size called F13. It's different. Google Sheldon Brown Tire Size. He explains every tire size imaginable and also can tell you how to size an unmarked rim.

28 x 1 1/2 635 mm English, Dutch, Chinese, Indian Rod-brake roadsters
(Also marked F10, F25, 700 B)
622 mm (F.13) Rare Canadian designation
28 x 1 5/8 x
1 1/4 Northern European designation for the 622 mm (700 C) size

I think that you need 40 x 635 tires if the BSA used the same size rims as Raleigh.

Hi there,
I think so .it's not the end of the world if I can't get larger.
Thanks
