2.75-21 Avon ??

[Danny F.]

I'm looking for a 2.75-21 Avon Speedmaster MK2 front tire...Avon only produces the 3.00-21 size since 10 years or so now...anyone has a 2.75 laying around, or some old stock maybe? I used a bunch of these skinny's years ago, so It's almost unthinkable that there are no more left now...

Danny,post your question on the main board.This section is indeed for questions and suggestions but only regarding the board itself.

Those 2.75" Avons are very cool.When I once talked to Corner from Sweden about front tires he said those 3.00" are way too fat...he didn't find no Avon and now runs a skinny 21" Moped tire or something like that.
If you come across any source I'd be happy to know.It's only a quarter inch but it sure makes a difference especially on bikes with narrow springers like I do have.Thanks.

Hey man thanks! Yeah, the 3.00 are "fat", especially on WM1 rims,I found a WM0 rim and it screams for a 2.75 !! I will use it in between my 12" over FL narrow-glide tubes,ciao !

Danny, where did you find the 21" WM0? (in Belgium/The Netherlands?)
I'm also looking for one (40 spoke).

Tnx

Yow Marc, Yep, got it at Utrecht beurs about 3 years ago, it was mounted around a "half brake" hub (early Santee), I respoked it now around a spool hub...
I got 2 more 21" WM0 rims with 40 holes (inside beads is 42mm,outside width is 62mm),one nice chrome, one needs to be rechromed...let's make a deal Marc, you find me a 2.75-21 Avon tire and I will swap you a WM0 rim...!
