What are peoples thoughts regarding wheel sizes and tyre availability? Currently both my Hobbs have 26 x 1 1/4 wheels, but I was thinking of fitting 27 x 1 1/4 wheels to the Superbe because its easier to get tyres. Is it possible to still get decent 26 x 1 1/4 tyres, and what about in 5 years time? Is anyone still making new 26 x 1 1/4 tyres?
I was looking for gum walled 26 x 1 1/4 tyres recently and simply couldn't find them anywhere. The one I managed to find turned out to be 26 x 1 1/4 x 1 3/8 and is very fat. Not what I was after at all.
Just interested in peoples thoughts and experiences.
