Does anyone have any recommendations for 27" tyres?
The "obvious" candidates are Continental Gatorskins/Ultra Sport and Schwalbe Marathons.
Is anyone using anything different that they would recommend?
Im gonna use Panaracers pasela 27 x 1 1/8 on me new Phil woods on weinmann 1 1/4 rims, they look how 1 1/4's should look IMO. They also do them in 1 inch and 1 1/4" sections.
Where i work @ Madgetts cycles, we try and stock 27 x 1, 1 1/8 & 1 1/4 sections in as many different available styles.
The paselas have a "kevlar guard" and are relatively light for steel beads. Also got the nice looking tan walls.
If anyone needs any we can post.
Going back to fitments, it's best to translate the "old way" of sizing into bead seats, in this case 630mm.
