What is the ETRTO 630-25 or 630-28?

27 x 1 = 630 x 25

Might be a bit of a long shot...
I've got a brand new pair of 27" Panaracer Pasela tyres in the very hard to get width of 1" that I want to swap for an unused (or nearly new) set of similar tyres (gumwall) in the more usual 1 1/4" width.

If no one has anything to trade I'll be looking to sell them on.

PM me if your interested.

Thanks for that Bigblock, all very informative. Sounds like I'll need to get some slightly wider tyres.

Thanks for that Bigblock,

So does that mean that the 27 x 1 inch panaracers that I have might be too narrow, would 1 1/4 make that much difference?

What kind of psi are you going to run? Is 40-50 to low?

They're not clincher or tubs, clincher or hook/bead rims came in in the late 50s, you can fit a beaded tire to these but you won't be able to use much inflation pressure, if you're lucky maybe 40 or 50 PSI.
If you use more pressure the tire will unseat, nice rims by the way...

Right, so what kind of tyre would of been used with these rims to get a higher PSI? And can you still get them?

A picture of the OUTSIDE of the rim (where the tyre is seated) is what is required, instead of the picture you have offered.

Old style clinchers did seat differently to modern ones. The rims were less "lipped" also.

Yes, not the most descriptive image, only one I have to hand at the moment. These rims are definitely less "lipped"

A question for some of the vintage experts on here.
I picked up a pair of 27" Dunlop Special Lightweight 32 and 40h rims a while back and I have noticed that they have a very shallow profile not quite as shallow as a tubular rim but not as deep or with noticeable hooks for clincher tyres?

Does anyone know if I can fit clincher tyres to these rims? Specifically the Panaracer Pasela 27" x 1" clincher?

cheers

Citygent, would be interested in seeing some pics. Cheers

Looking for a pair of 27"rims with 40 and 32 hole drillings in decent condition.
