Sew ups

1.1/8THS WILL HAVE A SMALLER PROFILE, AND STILL FIT THE 1.3/8THS

MartyC:
You'll only be able to run sew-ups if you have sew-up rims, they won't work on a regular 1 3/8th rim as the tyres will be a larger inside diameter and they need a surface to be glued to so the inner rim on a sew-up sits a lot higher with the spokes/nipples recessed (which is why the tyre is slighty larger on the inside diameter).

Thanks all,

I think I will stick with it for the moment. I have NOS yellow label comp III's on it in 1 3/8th's, but have some nos 1 1/8th in black too but didn't think they would fit on the wider rims. I'll change one over and see what it looks like.

Just waiting on the brake lever to complete the build and I'll post piccy's.

Paul
