Bought these for a 1940s tandem I own. All other tyres in 590 diameter are very oldskool and not the quality of a modern tyre. These schwable tyres have the qualities you come to expect from a 700c and they look stunning on a vintage build!

Can I Use These Tyres On Vintage Westrick Steel Rims?

By Bob Parsons

15 Jan 2017

The rims are the right size 26

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

The rims size is the same so these tyres will fit over, but they are narrower than your original tyres so you may be better off going for a wider set of tyres. Although tyres blowing off of the rims is very rare a wider tyre on your rim will mean this is much less likely to happen.

Thanks.

What Size Innertube Should Be Used With These Tyres?

By Alex

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

We normally recommend Schwalbe tubes, you would need the size 12 for use with this tyre. If you have Schrader valves then you need the AV12 SJSC part 3855, if you have Presta valves then you need the SV12 SJSC part 13007 and if you have Woods/Dunlop valves then you need the DV12 SJSC part 3871.

Thanks.

Re: Tyre Size

I have a vintage bicycle tyre size 32 597, would the Schwalbe HS180 Rigid Tyre 26 x 1 3/8 x 1 1/4 Inch (28/32590) fit.

Thank you

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

No, I'm afraid it will not as this tyre has a BSD of 590 and you need to keep the same size as you had previously which is 597. The only 597 tyre we have is SJSC part number: 31600.

Thanks.
