The Chen Shin 27 x 1 3/8 knobbies are a good value. I see them lasting a long time as commuter tires, though they do not fold. They prob retail for $12 max.

I can't remember ever seeing a ChengShin knobby in 27", but perhaps likely Cheng does make the 1-3/8" ClubRoost "inverted"-style knobby? I've used the Kenda Knobby on the back wheel of my Miyata SixTen tourer. It rode and wore reasonably well but blew out in the center of the tread for unknown reason when the tread was about 2/3 worn. Here it is: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2410/...802_z.jpg?zz=1 |
Lots of 27 tires from this joint. >https://www.biketiresdirect.com/prod...rosscyclo-tire

I haven't been completely the same since I stopped riding on the Specialized Expedition 1 3/8 tire...I can't find a smooth replacement.

The Vittoria Zaffiro is a tire tread I designed around 1995. What a trip to still see it around twenty years later.

This week, I got an email from loosescrews.com:
We have our own tire! Made by Panaracer in Japan, the 27 x 1 3/8 size also fits common 1 1/4 inch rims. They are folding touring tires measuring 33mm wide. Light and supple, there are two distinct types, both costing a staggeringly low $31. We want to keep classic bicycles running and the low price is our way of saying thanks. Here's a secret only for the email list here, it's the same guys making our tires, that make the custom Panaracer tires for the high end companies that like to charge over $50 for these. Some are approaching $80 even. That's a lot to pay for special casings when the normal Panaracer ones we use are near perfect already. Save the money and use the wheels you already have. Great for touring, commuting, and camping. Perfect for restoring a bike prior to sale. Just search the site for SWT of SwiftTire. |

I picked UPS a stack of NOS Schwinn Passage 27x1-1/4 folding tires. I actually prefer the Panaracers, but rubber at the right price got me.

One thing I really enjoy about C&V is the industry vets. I just tried to fit one of these. The Nashbar reviews said it fit really tight. Man, it's no fooling! I marred up the rim and pinched the tube in the process. I might try it tubeless just to offend the maximum number of purists on every side.

Soma has a tan wall 27 inch tire made by Panaracer, anyone using it?

Those Soma tires look the same as Paselas. Is there reason to justify the higher price? |

And for the 27" tire thread- these are a couple of my posts from another thread about tires
http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8y8t3ndt.jpg[/URL] http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psnikzthtc.jpg I have the tires mounted on some Super Champion (I assume Modele 58) rims- and for comparison porpoises, a Pasela PT or TG or whatever on a Wolber Model 58: http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psw9jlsd0o.jpg[/URL] http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psbhj4rvad.jpg[/URL] http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...pskmfwmi7k.jpg[/URL] http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psrsrukrhw.jpg |

I have a pair of Schwalbe Active with the tan sidewalls and puncture protection. While not exactly a fast tyre they have been getting a lot of use. A combination of too much air pressure and a 700c tube forced the tyre off the rim after an hours ride when first fitted. Replaced the tube with a 27 x 1 1/4 and the with the pressure at 60 have had no issues. Pulled an industrial staple out of the tread a few weeks ago thinking it would puncture but so far so good.

@mobilemail if you post a picture, I might be able to make a good guess of who made them. If you care.

Unless I missed it I don't think the Nashbar Prima 2 Plus has been mentioned. 280 grams for the 1 1/4.

Since I grabbed a 2016 Panaracer catalog I went through it for 27's
Pasela PT with "400D Lite Extra Cord" and "PT Belt," each in tanwall with aramid or wire bead 25-630 27 x 1, 250/310 g, max 115 psi 28-630 27 x 1 1/8, 270/330, 105 32-630 27 x 1 1/4, 350/410, 95 Pasela with "400D Lite Extra Cord" in all-black or tanwall with wire bead 25-630 27 x 1, 290, max 115 psi 28-630 27 x 1 1/8, 320, 105 32-630 27 x 1 1/4, 390, 95 |
I've been running a pair of those "cheap" Kenda 1 3/8" knobbies this winter, and like them a lot. :) They came in like new condition, on a $20 Schwinn, so the Schwinn was basically free. Hey, what does a 27" x 1 3/8" equate to in metric size, like a 35 centimeter?

Those Kenda 1-3/8" tires should measure about 30mm wide on a 22mm rim. Typical 1-1/4" tires measure 28-29mm on a 22mm rim, but Michelin World Tour and Panaracer Pasela 27x1-1/4" tires measure true to size (about 32mm), so are relatively huge compared to their competitors. A 1" Pasela is as wide as most 1-1/8" tires, about 26mm on a 22mm rim. |

Converting 1-3/8" to metric gives 35mm, but as with most 1-1/4" tires, they measure much smaller than listed.

Hey GB, did you ever get a fender mounted on those Sand Canyons? I assume probably not, or at least without modifying the fender mount higher. I really like the look of the SC tread. Having said that I just mounted the latest iteration of the 27 1/4 Continental tour ride. The tire seems to have changed radically in last few years, but was cheap and is narrow enough to where I could mount it with fenders. Will test it soon and report back. I picked this one b/c there are some really rotten roads around here and sand, gravel, huge cracks, etc are the norm a good part of the year. So really I like a good tread similar to what is on those sand canyons but also need fenders.

That 30mm seems really small for a Pasela 1-1/4" tire. Can I assume you're using narrow (19-20mm) rims? How about inflation pressure?
I always use a 22mm Mod58 rim for my 27" tire test-fits, and I got 32mm at 90psi after the inflated new tire had settled for an hour on a warm day. 30mm is still at least as wide as the 1-3/8" knobbies though, and wider than the 1-1/4" Aramdillos. |

I'm looking for some Paselas in 27 1-1/4" folding for backup on my touring setup. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any clues? I think I stumbled over the folding Pasela in 1-1/8", guess for backup purposes that would suffice, but just wondering if anyone has seen the 1-1/4s lately. The sand canyon 1-3/8 looks very interesting but not only are most of my rides on pavement, they're mostly on fresh paved rail trails, so don't need an aggressive tire, at least for now.
|
I'm also looking for the Paselas in 27 X 1-1/4, none of the U.K. Sites seem to carry them where are you guys ordering them from?
