I have ran into a snag on the build I am doing for the little lady. I started with a 26" huffy mt. bike. Not doing 21 gears so bought a used 26 " with a 3 speed. Today my flames show up in the mail and they don't fit the wheel. It is clearly stamped as a 26x1.375 araya. Why do I have two different size 26" wheels?
 
26x1.375 and 26x1 3/8, while they sound like the same measurement, are not the same.

and really, there are actually 2 different 26 x 1 3/8 sizes.
schwinn (S7?), and standard or english.

i made the same mistake when i first started....
