Old layabout
....I have a folding bike that needs a new set of tyres, but am concerned about clearance issues. Current ones are cracked after about 10 years (little use), and are 20 x 1.50, and look rather skinny, and ride is not very plush.
I would have gone with a pair of Schwalbe Big Apples, but they are too large in diameter to clear the rear frame, but not too wide - shame really, as I like large volume tyres for smooth rides.
Anyways, second option is to fit some BMX tyres instead, been looking at the Schwalbe Mad Mikes at about a tenner each, but not sure if they will fit without fouling the frame. Does anyone have any BMX tyres on their folder, and if so what brand/model, and most importantly what diameter is the tyre?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.......
