Fatti-O tire on 1.75 rim?

[crump582]

I have a set of Fattio-O tires that are 24x3... planning to order some rims for a build that are 24x1.75. Will I have an issue with mounting them? Should they fit in a 68' Schwinn frame?

I have the tires, which are over $40 each so I would like to use them, but I don't want to have to do too much frame bending/ banging.

Thanks for any insight folks.

Fatti-Os will work just fine on that rim just make sure you have the 24"x3" inner tube on hand.

Will do... appreciate it.

That tire may or may not fit in the frame if it is a middle weight.

There are a couple of threads index in the HOW to Manual. Here is one of them. http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=925

They should fit on a 26 inch frame

They should fit on a 26 inch frame

Most common use of 24x3.

They'll fit on a 1.75 rim. Mounted one on the front of an OCC.

For a tube, a 26 x 2.125 will work and they're a LOT cheaper than the 24 x 3 ones.

As for the fitting in a 26" middleweight (or even some ballon) frames, you're gonna have to spread/bend the rear seatstays and chainstays.
Not a Fatti-O (Kenda Kraze), but you get the idea.

Hope this helps.
