What tire for this rim (USA)?
Sun M-14A Rim - 16", 36H, Black
I need a 16 inch 36 hole rim, tire, and tube. Light as possible.
I suppose there are few available, so the rim above looks good if there is a readily available tire and tube for it.
It's for a 36 hole hub, that must be used.
I suppose this tube will fit a tire that fits that rim...
Sunlite Tube 16X1 Pv 32Mm (349X19)
But a tire is needed.
Thanks.

Greenspeed Scorcher is 26x1.5
Primo Comet comes in 16x1 3/8 (37x349)
Schwalbe Kojak in 16x1 1/4 (32x349)
I think Schwalbe Marathon comes in 16x1 3/8 also.
Anyplace that caters to recumbents or folders should be able to help you.

Sure (assuming the 349 part is correct.) See the compatibility chart near the bottom of the page:

If you call that a 19mm rim, you can go up to 44mm (1.75") width tires. You can probably go beyond that, too but that's the 'recommended' range. I have a couple of 28x349 Stelvios on my trike; but I don't think you can buy those anymore.
There are probably many more 349 tires, but Schwalbe also makes the Winter, a 30x349 studded tire.

That's what it says on the rim "349x18.9" when you mouse-over the picture on the Amazon page. On the eBay item, it says SUNRingle Rim Sun 16 349X12.4 "349x12.4". I guess it's a different rim.
I need the smallest and lightest 36 hole rim/tire/tube that is readily available. Those look great if there is a tire and tube to fit them.
Thanks.
