Retro Bike Tire
Yes , I recommend this product
Replacing original tires on an older French-made Motobecane Jubilee Sport 10-speed bike. These tires consistently came up through internet searchers as the best alternative to use with the Wolber Gentlemen rims. Before researching, I had originally planned on using Schwable Marathon tires, but there was no way they would fit on these rims. Very glad that REI had these tires in different sizes, and I was able to order the most recommended size (27 x 1 1/8"). They came sooner than expected. The fit is excellent on the rims, and the tire size does not interfere with the Weinmann 500 side-pull breaks. I hope the tire holds up to cycling on city streets.
