Hey. I have an older Free Spirit 10 speed cruiser. It has 26 x 1 3/8 tires on it now. They are in very bad shape and need to be replaced. I bought some new tires, 26 x 1.5. I assumed they would work but they clearly do not fit. Any suggestions?

26 x 1 3/8 inch EA.3 (590 mm)
Bicycle Tires from Harris Cyclery 590 mm / 26 x 1 3/8 tires This is the size used on most 3-speed bikes.
Also used on department-store 10 speeds and some specialty bicycles made for smaller riders. Often confused with the 597 mm and 559 mm sizesQuoted post said:
This size is commonly found on Dunelt, Raleigh, Rudge, Humber, Robin Hood, Phillips, Hercules, Triumph, Royce Union, Huffy and other bicycles, and is the most common size for three speed bikes. This size does not fit Schwinn bicyles!

Gumwall street tire. This is a super quality tire, and is a great cosmetic match for older English 3-speeds.
This is arguably the finest tire ever made to fit this rim size.
