Cyclo tire for 27" or 630 rim
does anyone know or could suggest a good tire, im currently working on converting a old fuji road bike into a fixed gear city/park/go anywear beast! its going to be sweet. the bike has 27" rims and some really large calipers. i plan on keeping one break, i have done the breakless thing in the past and ruined a few good shoes when i broke a chain. anyways i want to find a tire with a descent tread but small width that can fit on a 27" rim

most tires come in varied widths... a nice all arounder is a ritche speed max pro or proc comp tire they cost between 10-20 dollars a tire. Great for the price. I like em, and not super super wide.

I bought some Kenda 27" cyclocross tires from Biketiresdirect.com. They were pretty inexpensive.

What did you end up using? I'm in the same dilema as you were. I don't mind using cruiser tires, but I'd rather have something with a little bite.
