    Looking for a pair of tires for a couple of rebuilds I am working on. A Schwinn Breeze and a Schwinn Traveler, respectively. Old school town bikes.

    You may know this, Chuck, but that is a different 26" than mountain bike 26".  Back when we had a couple old Schwinns, I had a really hard time finding tires.  Most bike shops will have them, but they are really poor quality.  Now that I think about it, it won't be too long before that is the case with mountain bike 26" tires.  I better start hoarding.

    Thanks for the info Jon. Good to know.
    BTW: I would start hoarding. You ought to be able to get a free lifetime supply of 26ers just sitting around! I've prolly got 20 of them and only one bike they fot on any more. And no one is riding that bike much ;D
