Knowing a bit about your knowledge and experience, this will be interesting. Sun Ringle seems to have shifted their priorities away from making the CR18 for 26" x 1-3/8" in favor of more popular sizes. There may be other alternatives, especially if you are willing to order from the UK. Perhaps Toronto is better ISO 590 territory than the US right now.
