Pashley tricycle tyres

[Simonpowens]

Hi all, thanks for the add, I have 2 picador tricycles and am currently making a good one. I'm struggling to find tyres. The size on the old ones is:- 28-440 500x28A. Looked on ebay but struggling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Simon.

My Trike runs 24" tyres at the back and a 26" on the (electric) front wheel

Picador wheels used to be 20x 1 1/8 (Raleigh Shopper size) until they changed to 20 X 1.75 (406) (BMX size). Read the numbers off the tyre side wall.

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I’‘m actually looking for a wheel not a tyre. See measurement. details:

This wheel is an older size of 20 inch (actually 440mm in diameter) , which is different from the new 20” which is 406mm

Why not save yourself the trouble of searching for suitable tyres, for the old wheels, by getting them rebuilt with newer rims.

Most of the Pashley trikes, that used 20" wheels, used the same rims/rim size. Made it easier for them.
