I have two NOS Dunlop tubs, (sew ups if you will), both are marked 27" they fit the Dunlop 27' rims I have fine they also fit the 700c rims I have fine, in fact are tight on both, the Claud Cats that I have offer the choice of 26" OR 27" tubs, I allways used the 27" size I have not seen a 26" tubs for many years, come to think of it nor a 27" (only the ones I have). I am not sure I would want to trust a 27" on a 700c rim. I also have a Dunlop special wightweight 27x 1/14" rim, that is much narrower that a 27X 1/14" Sturmey Archer rim? BOTH are marked 27x 1 1/4" can Shelldon or someone explain this? Cheers John Crump OldgivemethefactsBrit, Parker Co USA
