I found an S-7 wheel today. Cleans up real nice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an S-7's diameter larger than a standard 20"? Are new tires difficult to find because of this? If so, what's a source?

I'm considering using it on my daughter's custom build because I like the look of a slightly larger front wheel on muscle bikes.

There is one problem: There is a dent in the side wall next to the valve hole. The rim is double walled, so it's nothing I can smooth out from the inside. I think I'm going to have to live with it if I decide to use it.
 
Yep, slightly larger. That was Frank Schwinn's brilliant idea so Schwinn could sell their own tires. :roll: Gary
 
I have 6 NOS tires to fit that rim. Interested? Pm me. I like trades or will sell.
