1.5" Tyres on 1.75" Rims

(1/2) > >>

rhino_mac:
I've got some 1.75" Araya 7X rims coming to me from Ian on this site for a Kuwahara Laserlite - I notice that Comp 3's are generally a bit more available in 1.5" sizes.

Anyone got any ideas what these would look like on a show bike (if I build it like that) or would they be any good for racing (as it's more likely the bike wil be built into a rider).

Any thoughts welcome!

Nice! Answers that one nicely!

I quite like the look of the 1.5" tyres - they look a little bit racier to me so hopefully that will suit the Laserlite!

Thanks muchly!

Jt:
they look great.

a few of my bikes are sat with them on..here's a couple.

rhino_mac:
They do look really good - mind made up methinks!

What brand should I be looking for to keep in with 1983 - I've seen some Tioga's on the Bay and suchlike for about £40. I think Alans has some on his site for a similar price.

Are these a decent enough?

I've given up trying to find the ones the Laserlite can with standard - they are made of unobtainum as far as I can tell!
