Thick Brick Tires

[BackWoodCycle]

I'd like to buy a set of thick brick tires for this bike:

The bike has balloon tires on it.. So do I need to order a wider size rim so that the tires will fit? Or will they work on these?

If it has 26 x 2.125 tires on it already there's no reason those rims wouldn't work.

Thick Bricks are 24x3, so you will need different rims if those are 26s. I have a pair mounted on a set of 24x1.75 rims and they fill the frame on my '34 Rat Flyer nicely.

D'oh I was thinking of the Quick Brick tires. You're right, the thick bricks are for 24s.

Alright Thanks! They're 26". But I don't think itll be too hard to find some rims that will work.

Felt USA has the Antique White TBs at $7.50 right now!

It is such a good deal for $7.50 per tire that I couldn't resist and now to find some affordable tubes. Oh, and rims too....snow balls don't it ?

You can't beat the deal at $7.50. I had already bought a pair on closeout at $15. I bought some more in this latest blowout.

 

[BackWoodCycle]

Where do I go to get them at 7.50?

 

[BackWoodCycle]

Crap.. they're already out of stock..

 

[kingfish254]

Looks like they are sold out again.
Check back in later because this happened last night too, but they found more.

 

[BackWoodCycle]

Will they fit any 24" rim??

They will fit standard 24" rims.

 

[BackWoodCycle]

Awesome, Turns out that Felt did have some more of those closeout tires so i bought a set of them in antique white

For $7.50, I had to buy a set. Now I need a project to put them on.
