Can I cut these down to fit a childs bike? I need 16 X 2.125 & 20 X 2.125. What sizes should I buy and can I cut them shorter?

You can buy the purple or brown color coded liners. Follow the directions that are included on packaging. Yes cut to fit, inside diameter of tire.Find a comfortable place to set down and install them. More than likelythey will out last the tubes and tires.

Your welcome. I build custom bikes and use to do maint. write-ups for my club's news letter,learned the hard way and enjoy helping people. You may still get a pinch flat as this happens when something pushes the tube into the rim. Overall, the liners work. Hope you ride with your kids. BOL.

Yes. You can trim Mr. Tuffy's with scissors. Allow a minimum 3" overlap, round the trimmed end so there are no sharp, 90 degree corners. For the sizes indicated in your message, use Mr. Tuffy's for mountain bike tires. Mr. Tuffy's come in different sizes and each size is color-coded. Be sure to read the packaging for the size recommended for 2.125 wheels (mountain bike size).

Yeah, 20" is the smallest you can really go as these come from the factory... However, if you were willing to spend a few minutes, you could easily cut both pieces down and get as short as 16.5" without any drilling. You might reduce the load capacity a bit, but it should be fine for most uses.

No I do not recomment cutting these to fit. They are a strong rubber and unless you are very careful I would not try to alter them. I think they are great the way they are!

Absolutely you can cut them to the sizes you need. Just make sure not to cut the ice pockets

Yes, they will fit with 26" x 1.95" tires I have them on a suspension bike with 2.1" tires but they are a neet fit.

I don't work for the company, I'm just a customer. I'm not sure if they will take it back or not. Are you sure they are the right size for your bike, and how close is it to going on?

I'm not sure if you can purchase them already small, but I have a similar set up with my JLH system and my husband made the small racks by cutting a longer rack...I think cutting to size is the idea behind these systems, but I could be wrong. I just know that my "small" racks were cut from a longer one.

These will fit all standard 7/8" handlebars. Not sure what 1/2" handlebars are. Is it a childrens bike? Get a cheap caliper tool from sears & get an accurate measurement of the handle bar diameter.

They are adjustable, so they should fit any size (adult) bike. I have found that they vibrate EVERYTHING, regardless the combination of materials you put underneath. With that said I would still try to put an extra layer or two underneath to help dampen the vibrations. To keep things peaceful I talked to my downstairs neighbors and they said to do it in the kitchen because it would not disturb them as much. I also wouldn't do it very late or very early.

theyre half-moon shaped i'd say an inch across by 3/4" high. they need trimming to the size and shape you want. use very sharp scissors or a razor knife. my first set i trimmed too small so remember you can always trim a little more to get them just so but once trimmed you're stuck with them. you can even leave them a little big and put them on for a day or two before taking them off for the final, and hopefully perfect trim.

Although I think your question isn't worded correctly (asking if they are 2.125 or 2.125) I think I understand your question. These are in fact 2.125" wide. This is a standard tire size for most of the balloon tire era (Mid 30's through mid '60's). These bicycles used a tire size of 26" diameter by 2.125" width. This tire size is also used for a lot of newer retro styled cruiser bikes. A 1.125" tire would be very narrow and not on a typical cruiser bike.

Yes, almost all bike pedals are 9/16" The exception would be small kid's bikes

These should fit your bike, I would suggest contacting the seller for a more detailed answer.

they are made to go on a handlebar that is .975 in diameter- that would be a pretty big stretch, IF you got them on they would probably split in not too long of time. Maybe try some pipe insulation from the hardware store

They'll fit any bike that has the right sized thread. They're pretty much a standard size I think. Well worth the money too.
