Hi there,

thinking of something like the swift tire by Panaracer (https://www.swifttire.com/product/sand-canyon-27-x-1-38-folding-tan/)

watcha got?  I am restoring an old road bike and making it Rivy 

thanks :) 

best
Nathan

The next 27-by tire that I consider for purchase for one or both of my 60s and 70s bicycles that have 630 rims will be the Swift Tire by Panaracer. Currently, I am using Panaracer Pasela 27 x 1-1/4. At 80 PSI, they measure 28.5 mm on Mavic MA2 rims and 30 mm on Velocity Synergy rims. 

The Pasela is a decent enough tire for the bikes that I use them on, a 64 Jack Taylor Sports with a 3-spd hub and a 73 Schwinn Voyageur. 

Personally, i wouldn't buy tires used unless I could personally inspect them first, but that’s me. 79 bucks and change is not a bad deal right now. 

I’d like to hear from anyone that has used the Swift Tire.

Is this tire real? I see a bunch of old references, and can't believe I haven't seen these before?

Since you said 'nice and supple'... supposing that means folding bead only?

I my mind, supple has nothing to do with the type of bead. Once inflated, the bead is motionless and rigid relative to the rim.
