Hi,

I am currently restoring an old Peugeot Record du Monde for my girlfriend and have encountered a small problem.

The rims are 28x1 1/2 and I would like to put white/cream tyres on it. The only thing I can find are 28x2 or 28x 1.75 tyres. Is it feasible to put tyres of this width onto said rim? Or does anyone know where I can find a white tyre to fit it properly?

Thanks

Peter

If it is 28" then it is probably just a large 700c tyre check on the old tyre for an iso sizzing, 622 will be there for 700c

I am an idiot, this is the size: 584 mm 650B, 26 x 1 1/2. Really not with it today.

well if you're with it on all the other days your average is pretty good. At least you have it sorted now. SJS cycles have a good selection of uncommon size tyres as do the old bicycle showroom, google both.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
