Where to get 26 x 1 3/8 tires

Ok, have the front wheel good to go, amazingly the darn hub is like 90 mm, PITA to install the wheel in the fork aswell but thats another story.

I never liked kenda stuff so probably the idea will be to use schwalbe delta cruisers, sadly those dont come in gum sidewalls so probably will be just the whiteide ones... besides harris cyclery and schwalbe itself, who else carry those tires?? anybody??

Couldnt find at ebay either but in the UK, so that is not going to work. I could use full black but nah... wont look good... bike need sidewalls in color IMO.

This is for the mixte huffy I found in the street, sucker is getting super sweet.

Dept stores that sell cheap bikes as well as wal mart have them but I bet a well stocked lbs may have some on hand. For tan walls might wanna try ebay

If you can tale the wheel to a LBS, you can double check the size before you leave as there are 26x1-3/8 tires and there are Schwinn s-# 26x1-3/8 tires that are a different size.

Good description(s) here...

I assume you're talking 590 BSD. Here's some Schwalbes from a UK seller.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-SCHWALBE...0AAOSwvR5aFbUQ

Perhaps you can get a slightly better deal on two if you message them.

Good call. I had to look up to see that 650A = 590 BSD.

I've used the 650A (and B) CdlV and the A seemed nicer. Great tire for the money! (On different wheels...)
