27" tires are often referred to as the "old road size" or "Schwinn size". Once the standard road bike tire size, 27 inch tires are used by those dusting off a bike that's been sitting in the garage for years or getting a new yard sale find rolling. Finding a great older bike is a wonderful way to dip your toe in the waters of cycling. When a friend mentions an interest in cycling, the first thing I suggest is to hit the garage sales in search of a quality used bike. The first step in cleaning up an older bike is replacing tires and at BicycleTires we stock a variety of tires to keep those 27" wheels rolling. The Kenda K35 27" is one of our most popular 27" tires. They are ideal for getting that neighborhood cruiser up and running. 27" tires are generally not intended for high performance use as most bikes manufactured today use size 700c wheels. An excellent option for someone trying to coax a bit more speed out of their old Schwinn is the IRC Road Winner II Duro Tire . A traditional wire beaded tire, the Winner II has a more supple casing and lower rolling resistance than most 27" tires made today. For those who commute daily on a 27 inch wheel, a bit more durability may be in order. The Vredestein Perfect Moiree is an excellent choice for those who don't have time to fix a flat. They are very tough tires and provide a supple, stable ride in the worst weather. The Vredestein Perfect Moiree also features a reflective sidewall for maximum visibility for those evening commutes. 27 inch tubesare also made for your 27" tires. While 27" tubes guarantee a precise match for your tire, standard 700c tubes can also be used in your 27" tire. At BicycleTires we carry both sizes of tubes to ensure a good tire/tube match. At BicycleTires we try to stock a tire for every need. While 27 inch tires are no longer the cutting edge of cycling technology, there are plenty of 27" wheels still rolling around and BicycleTires has tires for them all. As always, feel free to contact us at sales@bicycletires.com or 1-888-222-9887 if you have any questions regarding tire size or compatibility. | |
