Hi everyone,

I’m doing a rebuild on a midi. Not a full restoration – using more modern parts where I can. One thing I do want to keep are the wheels, as the hub is in good nick. What I’m finding really hard to get info on is the tyre size need. Ideally I want the widest that the forks can take with looks to be 1.75 inches, but I’m buggered if I can work out the right etrto number

The shops I’ve been to advice for have not been able to help. I have purchased some old stock 37-288 s (14x 1 3/8) but they are a little too small to go on the rims.

Can anyone help? I’m no expert. Ideally as wide as possible to help with lack of suspension.

Thanks!
Jon
