4 sizes of red rubber tiring

 

  • FABULOUS RED TIRE RUBBER NOW AVAILABLE!! (Revised 9/18/23)
After a long absence, we can now make available, the red tire rubber for your High Wheel bike and Hard Tire Safety. This is not to be confused with red plastic tiring rubber we all have seen. Beware of lab tubing, strange colors and rubber made for buggies. We deal only in the red SRB rubber, manufactured to our standards of color and hardness. Ours is genuine rubber factory produced for us made right here in the USA. Almost all original tires were red but I have read catalog descriptions with other colors. Because of the economics of production, we can only supply RED rubber. If you are new at this work, please read Wheelmen Bulletin No. 4, Mounting Tires on High Wheel Bicycles, free on the Wheemen.org website.

The prices are __$4.00/ft___for the ¾” diameter rubber,

____$4.50/ft_____for the 7/8” diameter rubber.

$6.50/ft______ 1” diameter rubber.

______$5.00/ft________5/8” diameter rubber.

YOUR ORDER:

______________feet of ¾” rubber

_______________feet of 7/8” rubber

______________feet of 1” rubber

______________feet of 5/8” rubber.

If you have a problem measuring the rim size, call us for assistance.
We can now handle some Overseas orders at this time, please inquire as to the specifics of your needs before submitting an order. Thank you for your patience.

Shipping is by USPS. A typical 20 pound box from DC to Detroit, Mich. is about $25 for 3-day priority mail using Large Box FRB , 12“ x 12” x 6”. USPS is the cheapest for boxes of this size of an average high wheel rubber order. The USPS website has a table to calculate shipping if your request is outside the usual 2 piece order. Suggest you use shipping of $25 in making your payment. I don't expect it, but if necessary, an adjustment may be made. Please add the shipping cost to the cost of rubber when submitting an order. In circumstances where USPS cannot deliver, we use UPS or other shippers. I would gladly help on any question regarding shipping before you order.

The following table is based on 3.14 times the wheel diameter plus 6 inches for compression and minor differences in actual rim diameters. We have seen many wheels where the original rims have been replaced and the new rims are not the same as the original size. If you have any problems with calculating your needs, please call us and we will help getting the right number. Attached is a table of diameter to length of rubber for each size wheel.

Wheel Diameter
46 inch wheel----13 feet of rubber
48 inch wheel----13 ½ feet of rubber
50 inch wheel----14 feet of rubber
52 inch wheel-----14-1/2 of rubber
54 inch wheel -----15 feet of rubber
56 inch wheel -----15-1/2 of rubber

16 inch wheel--- 5 feet of rubber
18 inch wheel ----5-1/2 feet of rubber
20 inch wheel ----6 feet of rubber

An order form and more information is ALSO available through the CABE (classic and antique bicycle exchange) website.  Because of the landslide of listings on the CABE, you need to go to the search box in the upper right hand corner, and enter "fabulous red rubber", and you will get the listing with the order form, which can be printed out and used to order the needed rubber.  Unfortunately, the CABE has been inundated with many, many listings, so you need a little fortitude to find the form.   IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE FINDING MY LISTING ON THE CABE, PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AND I WILL EMAIL THE ORDER FORM, WHICH CAN BE PRINTED OUT.  Thanks for the great interest in our rubber and the opportunity to get your bike on the road again.
