are mid 70s 10 speed questions allowed in ratrods?

[Ravenshurst]

I just picked up a Roger Riviere step through 10 speed for my other, and I have a few questions about road bikes, first and foremost about tires. Do I need folding tires or wire bead tires? Or does it matter? I have never built or even owned a 10 speed, so I know nothing about them. Thank you.

Bikes is bikes. Love it. Thanks Cap.

That depends one what kind of rims you have. Both the tires probably fit as long as the size is correct

 

[Ravenshurst]

Thanks Frankie. Just low budget factory rimes, I am sure.

wire bead, non-folding tires should be fine. Hopefully you can find some reasonably priced ones. Most things are so high priced right now.

Perhaps the Committee for the Preservation of Bicycle Purity should convene to consider this request. Once you allow questions on 10-speeds, before you know it, there will be questions about 12-speeds. It's a slippery slope.

As long as we quash the 27 speed conformists before it gets out of hand
