27x1/8" tire on a 27x1/4" rim?
I have an old bike with rims that are labelled 27x1/4" (these are still the stock wheels that came on the bike in 1984). I know at one point one of the tires I had on it was a 27x1/8" labelled tire, but I don't think I rode it much inbetween the time it was put on and when I replaced it. Was this a problem/unsafe? Just wondering if next time around I can get around with putting slightly skinnier tires on these rims.
