27" tyres

Do 27 1 3/8" tyres fit onto the same rims as 27 1 1/4" tyres?

You go first tommy.

yeah tommy!

c'mon hurry up!

time is ticking!

I don't understand the question

just say yes!

What you mean that an 1/8 inch won't make a difference?

c'mon whats the answer? little confused by the whole 27" wheel thing.

You should go by the ISO measurement to avoid confusion.
630mm

'Yes'

so all 27" tyres are the same yes?

the 1 1/4 or 1 3/8 just referring to tyre width?

awesome.

yes

where's tommy then?

On the Woolwich ferry!

I have 27 1/4" wheels and I have been told that the smaller wont fit it. It will be to thin or something.

Keep pressure up: you can use down to 1" tyres no probs, I have for a year without incident.
27x1" look lovely as well, almost skinny!

Well my rims are pretty thick plus I can only find 1 1/4 in Dublin. Not bothered to look either

.....should be ok as long as it has the ETRTO 630 stamped somewhere along the sidewall

Currently I believe Merlot is the answer to everything.

Did you carry it on the ferry?

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.

Madgetts of Diss on Shelfanger Road, what a great cycle shop. I used to pop in there all the time when I lived in Long Stratton, before moving to London. Anyone passing through should pop in for a look.
