24" Slick tires available on the market

[stingrayjoe]

I am building a 24" bike for my brother-in-law. Does anyone make a 24" whitewall slick? Are all 24" slicks on the market x 2.125? Are there any 24" x 1-3/4" to fit a Schwinn S-7?

Thanks!

I cant remember but i think one of the guys sanded the tread off to make a slick Burt Monroe style, I don't think Jerald made 24's either.

and just a heads up any tire can be a whitewall if you have some vulcanizing solution and some white rubber roofing sealant these are both 24". I forget who made these tires but neither one of them are still around

this one is roofing sealant

Fatti-O's I think

How is vulcanizing solution used in your process? I'm attempting to print white lettering. Flex Seal seems overpriced.

Got a how to thread on that?

I used it because i didnt think the tire was really clean no matter what i did. There are two different "white roofing sealants at home depot in a can that are natural rubber. I thinned it out. It has been at least five years since I did a widewall. I bet there is something else you can use to prep that rubber similiar to pvc prep without the dye

it's a no brainer, clean the heck out of the tire with something that ruffs it up and spray. I mean mask it first but whatever

 

[nosferatu1381]

Plasti-dip is rubber too and you can spray that as well. You could make your tire whatever color you wanted

just like a flat repair, you are doing the same thing. You could cut white raised letters and glue them to the tire just like if you were stitching one to a rim

Been searching for alphanumeric cookie type cutters, no dice! Then got the idea of using rubber stamps and paint sealers. Would rather apply raised letters.

Thanks,

I've been shopping around for 24's as well the widest whitewall I've seen is the "little bricks" 24x2.125

I just got bummed about no shows this year again. Seems like i only build a bike if there is going to be a show. I have all the parts to update the wheels on Skully, a Harley, two scooters. a jet ski, a VW bus and Whizzer here I don't even feel like washing. I did start a few stone spiders today at least

I put motorcycle tubes in those 24x3 and and the 20x3" or 4" . I really want to redo my whizzer in 24x3 but a thick slick doesn't fit in the stock fork.

What exactly is vulcanising solution? But then someone mentioned Flexseal? I would love to make white walls.

Jerald Sulky makes a 24 x 2.125 square slick. But it's blackwall only. They used to make white walls in 26", but stopped years ago.

If you want to buy a Jerald, go find their FB page which has a number of tackle shops listed. Find one with a website that carries the tire and order through them. You can't order directly from Jerald any longer.

I had the same thought

EDIT: horse tacke shops. Not fishing tackle shops
They're tires for horse carts

You go to a small enough town, a fish tackle shoppe will carry bicycle parts.

My fault! Horse tack shops. My fingers had football on the brain.
