[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 7091, member: 59"] [b]new 20" (equivalent) tube bought this week[/b] I feel it would be much better to stretch a 19" tube onto a 20" rim than to risk having wrinkles in a 21". Last week at our old farts meeting Jack Edney, late of Sunbury? (not a Vin owner but known to many) arrived on his 1928 Velocette KSS with a flat and cracked rear tyre. The valve had torn out and the ancient sidewalls suffered from this deflation. As the tyre was 20" and rear 20" have been scarce for decades, I did not expect to see the bike back on the road for quite a while. He rode it in today on a brand new SM bought from Lambrook Tyres. I think he said it arrived with Central Tyre packaging. He said the numbers marked on the new tube were not what he was used to but that despite not being labelled as such, it WAS a new 20"inner tube, albeit for a 3.50 tyre. I can find the tyre listed ([url]http://www.classictyres.com/lambrook/results.asp?m=81&ds=motorcycle&dc=129&sort=sort_size&mw=1&st_01=motorcycle&sf_01=type[/url]) but not the tube. They may be worth contacting. Lambrook Tyres C/O Vintage Tyres National Motor Museum Beaulieu, Hants SO42 7ZN Tel: 0845 1200711 You can email them on: [email]sales@lambrooktyres.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
