24" rims? that could be interesting!
Adult bikes --that's what most of these are-- have 26 x 1 3/8 rims. The words "DUNLOP 26 x 1 3/8 MADE IN ENGLAND" are usually printed on the inner surface of the rim, near the valve hole. Note, 26" rims measure about 23 7/8" (it's the tire that measures 26").
If your rims are labeled 24 x 1 3/8, you have a juvenile bike. These are really hard to find. I'd love to find one for my daughter, who turns 11 next week.
