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!

Replacement for 37-590?

By Steve

29 Mar 2019

Hi

Mine is the same question as Russell Dyer’s ie will these tyres replace my current 37-590 tyres....?

My rims (measured externally) are approx. 24mm min width, flaring out to approx. max width of 26.5mm.

Thanks

SJS Customer Service:

Yes these should be fine.

I have 650 x 28A tyres on my bike - will these work?

By Tim

02 Mar 2018

I have tried 26 x 1 3/8 but they are too wide and foul the mudguards....

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

This tyre size should be suitable, but different tyres come up slightly differently when mounted, and of course the rim will affect the width.

Thanks

Can these replace 37-590 tyres?

By Russell Dyer

My current tyres are 26 x 1 3/8, 37-590.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

These tyres would be narrower than what your previous tyres are, so it would depend on the width of your rims as to whether or not you could fit these.

Thanks.

Hi, Are these 28-590 or 32-590, or do I specify which width I need? I want 28.

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

24 Jun 2016

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.
