Finally riding a big boys bike
Thats the plan. I will be using a nice set of double wall alloy 700s, with coaster, in black. A bit of a klunker when i will be done on the 22 Crown.So the 597/26” were not original to the 1920’s bike but may have been common when the even more obsolete single tube tires/wheels were replaced on it some time ago.
597/26” may be an economical way to go, if one can find them; but a new set of 622mm/28” (700c) would be closer to the original size.
There are 622/28 wheels available with the Alex X202 or AS7X rim profiles that I like; (some ads might call them 29”).
