Wanted: 700c White wall or Gum Wall Tires

Posted on
  • I'm having a bitch of a time trying to find white wall or gum wall tires in 700c x 26, 28, 30. I thought someone on here might have some sitting around for an unfinished project or something they might want to sell?

    Alternatively, if you can think of a place to buy them online or elsewhere I would appreciate the info.

  • Dear God there's a flash-back to my Raleigh Mongoose childhood.
    Wish I still had that, I'd take it to polo.

    That didn't help in the slightest did it. Sorry!

  • I got 700 x 28 panaracer tourguard jobbies with gum walls from sjs, good tyres.

  • Panaracer Paselas come in 700x25c and 700x28c. The cheapest I've seen them currently, and this is for the folding version, is www.sdeals.com

  • +1 on the Panaracer Paselas.

    I think you can get these in a few good shops in town, like condor used to sell them, not sure now, online lots of places. Spacycles.co.uk, SJS, loads more.

  • oooh good tip there from andyp. The rigid ones are quite cheap!

    They come in all sorts of sizes (I'm running a pair of 35s on my tourer), but he's right that 25 and 28 are near your requested size.

  • the deal above is v cheap, I paid twenty quid a piece! Can't fit mine under my sodding crudcatcher guard jobbies which is very annoying.

  • It was fiddy's tip originally I think. I was looking at lunchtime as I'm in the market for a pair of gum wall tyres suitable for commuting on London's famous London's roads.

  • @ Chaliapin ...Then sell them on to El Guapo. Or me. What size are yours? Get the smaller ones?

    andy ... recommended.

    PS they do exist in smaller a size, 23... and the older sort of 25 come up very small ... hard to find though. If you fancy some old 25s (look more like a 23 to me) I may be able to point you in the right direction ...

  • I was going to head down the 25 route. I like comfort when commuting. Fresh Tripe have the 23s for £20 a pop.

  • Ahh I just associate you with super fast lightweightness ;)

    Naah get some 35s. Talk about comfortable!

  • Actually, I need to check clearances on the frame first, as 25s might be a squeeze. Forget 35s, way too big. I'd look like a pre-WWII Tour rider!

  • Ooh... off topic, but guess what I found Andy ?

  • Oooh, let me guess, some rechargeable batteries?

  • Sha-Shinnnng !
    You lucky, lucky chappy.

    Coming your way v.soon

  • I've got a pair of Gumwall Kenda tyres 25c, grubby, may clean up plenty of tread left. £12 posted.

  • Veloflex gumwalls are the business.

  • Oh just raed the size they might be to small

  • i'v got pair of NOS Wolber Sport 700x25c

    i'll let it go for £35[pair] and throw in 2 new specialized inner tubes [long or short stem- up to you]
