26 x 1 3/8-650A wider tyres?

[Mark Manley]

Does anyone know if wider tyres for the good old 26 x 1 3/8 rims are available? Preferably something better quality than the rubbish "Raleigh" branded Chinese made ones currently fitted to my Lenton which seem to puncture every time I go out on it.

Just what I was after thank you and available in Schwalbe Marathons which usually means less punctures in a year than I am getting a week at the moment.

i think you'll find that the metric version of 26 x 1 3/8 is 650b, meaning any 27.5 tyre should fit.

I am after 650A which is about 6mm different and not interchangeable, as fitted old single and 3 speeds.

650b has a different ETRTO size of 584
26 x 1 ⅜ ETRTO 590 or 650a

These are cheap but maybe not good puncture protection, the white wall Delta Cruisers look good on roadsters
