Hey - I'm replacing a 27 1.25 tire and would like to get a wheel too. Should I order this and the 27 & 1 1/4 tire, or would 27 & 1 3/8 be better?

Hi George, It's really personal preference but I would stay with the 27 X 1-1/4. When running a wider tire than recommended it tends to move on the rim when cornering . On low pressure applications this isn't a problem because the tire flexes but at high pressure applications the tire can't flex and can break the bead causing a blowout or flat.

No the 1 & 3/8 is a special size for older Schwinn sized wheels it will not fit on a 27x 1 & 1/4 wheel. Alsonote that on big cycle sized tires the decimal and fractional sizes are not always the same size.

The width of the rim isn't part of the 26 x 1.5 description. The caliper measurement of the outside width of my rim is 1" or 25.96mm. I have a 26 x 1.95 tire mounted on my rim. This paper helps explain bike wheel sizing. http://hostelshoppe.com/PDF/tire_sizing.pdf Here is the link to Sta-Tru's product guide. The FWS2615AA wheel is listed 3rd page. http://www.statruwheels.com/PDFs/REPLACEMENT.pdf

My understanding is that these are ERTRO 584 mm tires. ERTRO is the European Tyre and Rim Technical Oragnization - seriously, not making this up. Anyway, the 584 mm corresponds to a 650b tire and should fit 27.5" rims. Whoever listed these tires could have done a better job. Checking the Continental website provides some help.

if you are using spacers i would go with 1 3/4 inch hardware if not you can get 1.5 inch, for bearings i used bones reds and 78a 70mm wheels because they are grippy so they will be able to hold you into the tight turns better but honestly in he-insight i would gave gone with a little softer wheels

It really depends on the size of the tire. The Wheel Master 26x1.5 is designed for narrower bead tires. It works well with tires between 1.50 and 1.95. I installed a 26x1.75 on mine, and it's perfect. For tires 26x2.00 and wider, I'd suggest getting a wider rim.

You need a 27 x 1 1/4 not a 700c like these. These tires won't fit your rim at all. The rest doesn't matter because they won't fit in the first place..

Sorry I don't know the answer. tube size, I have several different bikes, I use is marked on the side of the tire. I am guessing by information that you should check for marking on tire itself. The 27 x 1 1/4 fits only one of my bikes and I fill them to about 100psi.

Tire size is what determines fit on the wheel....make sure it is also a fit for load rating....being a Michelin. .....probably a safe bet

3/4" Bearing is for a 3/4" axle. I have bought several sets of these tires and am very pleased. I also am using them on a 3/4" axle. The limitation is speed. Don't go fast. The tires are rated a 5 MPH and I have gone much faster but have had to replace the bearings. They also sell just the bearings. Hope this helps.

Hello.The factory 255/70-17 tire is 'recommended' for wheels up to 8.5" wide. That being said, we have seen customers use their OEM tires on this wheel.Thanks,BWT

Look at your current tire and get the numbers off it and then match it up to the tire you are looking at. ie: 26 x 2.175. 26 means it is a 26 inch tire. You do not want to buy a 28 inch tire for a 26 inch rim. Then match the 2.125, 2.175 etc and you will hav a perfect match. hope this helped

Works great...with my set up.not sure what size tire your wanting to run...I would recommend a offset wheel rather than factory rims..factory wheels are 7 1/2" offset I bought 8 1/2" offset wheels for clearance on inside frame and better ride..I'm running 265/70/17 nittos I got almost 4" higher with lift and tires looks and handles awesome...

You'll be fine with this. I've tajen wheels off cars wjth this no problem. Obviously the 1/2" May do it easier but this is more versatile for other uses.

Ted is right. Use the right size tube for the tire. I would even go further and recommend installing a new tube with any new tire unless your old tube is relatively new.Jim

This can depend on the type of bike. I'm assuming you're referring to that the wheel you purchased isn't fitting in between your bike frame. If you buy a mountain bike wheel, it may not necessarily fit on a street/speed bike or thin racing bikes. You can also fit various size tires on certain wheels. So while your tire can say 26x1.75, it may not be what was meant for the wheel. Easiest way to know what size wheel to get (beyond consulting your owners manual) is to measure and look for a wheel for your type of bike. (Also, keep in mind if you're looking for a standard wheel or one with a quick release set-up) What is disconcerting is tires can differ between manufacturers. (Check on your wheel and see if measurements are listed on it as well)

Sorry - I don't have this tire to check, but Continential only lists 27 x 1 1/4 with ISO 630x32.The general rule for bicycle tires IS fractional sizes and decimal sizes DON'T MIX. It's a valid question - although I'm not aware of that problem with 27" size, I have definitely experienced problems with old 26" sizes even within the same inch size designations.I suspect someone that was unaware of the mismatch issues just used the decimal designation by mistake. Best to check the ISO numbers of the old tire ( that did fit ) if possible - look at the larger number, that's rim diameter. In this case you want 630-xx (for a 27" tire).
