Ok, here’s my problem. I bought a nice 1970 r75/5 with a lot of rare original feature. Like working original carb 1-2 with the c stamping on top.
I was planning to put new tires on for the new season. Was ready to spent the money on a pair of Avon am26. But i was quite surprise to find what I think is the original thin rear rim on the bike. Those rims are 1.85 inch, the same as the front one ...the problem is that I don’t find any rubber to put on, as avon says thet the 4.00x18 tire i was ready to purchase should not be use on a rim thinner than 2.15 inch!
Anyone with original thin rims and tire suggestions?
