how install jerald 24" slick tire?

[freddyfingaz]

I feel retard but to make sure. Will jerald 24" slick fit 24" bicycle rim? I tried pry the heck out of it to put it on but it has about three inches to go. It doesn't look right. :?

My rim is 24x1 3/8 28 spokes. Wrong size? Or it need lot heck pry harder with water soaps? Lol

Wrong size rim. There are several different 24" rims. Your tire is a 24x2.125 (or any decimal number) then the bead diameter across the tire is 507mm. You need a standard 24" mountain bike or cruiser rim. Your wheel is 24x1 3/8" which means it's bead diameter is 540 or 541mm. Then you have Schwinn 24" rims which are a whole different animal all together. The same goes for 26" rims and tires. Sheldon Brown has a good explanation on tire sizes on his site.

Yeah, that's a lightweight hoop. You need at least a middleweight or balloon tire rim--so 24x1.75 (but not 1 3/4) or 24x2.125.

That's plain suck. Thank u for chart.

To make sure I understand. Jerald 24" slick tire only work on 507mm wheels?

 

[udallcustombikes]

Yup. Most any 24" bicycle will have the rim you need, mountain bikes, cruisers, etc. Just no skinny 24s.

Other question, 24"x1.75" or 2.125" with 507mm bead will fit frame that is original has 24x1 3/8 547mm bead? Wondering which way I would be better off with original tires and save slick tire for other bike or it can be fit ?

Without seeing some pics I can't give a definitive answer, but the frame will probably be too narrow to handle the tire. There are options though. You can carefully widen the rear frame to allow the tire to clear (if it is a steel frame, don't try aluminum) or you can modify the frame to move the drop outs further back.

I think your most likely correct. I measure everything and look like it will fit but very tight until I realized slick tire is much taller. That's where I think modifies wit be required.

By the way, my frame is sears spyder 24"

 

[freddyfingaz]

Sorry for so many questions. I would like to have 28 spokes. Is there 24x1.75 507mm bead and 28h rim that will interchangeably with my spokes and 5speed hub? Even tho I'm not sure if my five speed will work with my tire's width. My plan is put it together to see what job need to be done. I guessing 36 spokes with internal speed hub is my best bet.

Find a donor MTB rim and just reuse the gear cluster on the wheel. It will probably be 36 spokes and will be stronger than the 28. Plus you will avoid the trouble of buying new spokes.

The three Spyders I've had were all wider rear rims. The fronts are 1 3/8" and the rear on all three I've had has been for a 1.75. Though, there is a different frame style the Spyders used which I have not owned.. that may be the difference-maker.

Anyway, my dad really wanted a slick for his Spyder so I got a sulky.. it would fit fine if he didn't insist on having fenders as well..

Here's a picture of it in the back:

Finally a proof!!! I'm so happy to see it. So only modifies is change rear rim to 1.75? Where can I can find rim?

 

[freddyfingaz]

Will this rim work? It didn't say beam size and size of holes. Will my hub and spokes work on that?

I like price better than $80 for each.

 

[udallcustombikes]

[freddyfingaz]

That will work.

Prefect thank you for help.
