    Another tire width question....

    Will 40-45mm tires fit 30mm 700c wheels? I have at least 2 inches and maybe more of frame space. If not, how wide can I go?

    Seat Restoration Help

    I am wondering if there is someone in the community that does custom seat restorations? This one's on my Colson Flyer . The picture doesn't show it but the wooden pan is missing a couple of square inches on one side as is the cover. It's an amazingly comfortable seat.

    Tire options for 27" rims

    Are there any wider tire options for 27 rims? A quick look showed me 27 1/4 and 27 3/8. Probably not the first one to ask this. Fred

    1940's ??? Elgin

    Picked up this one tonight; sorry for the cell phone pictures: Seem pretty complete, the seat is good, rims reasonably true, and the bars are straight. It has peaked aluminum fenders- probably not original. The frame is straight with no welds. No paint left but not deeply pitted either. the...

    What size tire will fit?

    I am "refreshing" an early Campus Green Schwinn Typhoon that has the original 26 X1 3/4 tires which are dry rotted. It lools like I have enough width for 26 X2.25's. Will any of them fit the rims or do I need something special? Fred

    26 X 1.95 tires

    Will 26 x 1.95 tires fit okay on rims that currently have 26 X 2.25 balloon tires? I need new tires and could use the extra space. Inquiring minds want to know- before they order them! Thanks Fred
