Tires

Submitted by OldRider on Tue, 07/02/2013 - 00:33

I recently found two vintage CCM 24 inch bikes, one badged CCM the other was a National. Both not in too bad shape, I wondered

what the problem was until I tried buying tires. 24 by 1 and three eighths is impossible to find here. The one bike shop directed me to a health and medical supply company.......my only option was gray wheelchair tires at 35 bucks a piece. Are these size tires really that hard to find?

Try  Schwalbe.   Google that name they make a tremendous range of tires. They have a Canadian agent in BC but many bike shops sell them and can order them for you.   Ron

My distributorst still lists  24 x 1-3/8" tires and they're quite reasonable at $10.00 each.
