Old tires: I bought a 40 year old Cilo at an Estate sale last fall and took it for a ride the next day. The tires looked okay, but the back one blew out 12 miles from home. I had a spare tube but not a spare tire. I wrapped a cliff bar wrapper around the tube, and used the old tube to wrap around the blown out area. I had to remove the brake blocks, but I got home without walking. I now carry a spare tire.

I bought this exact bike when vwayne1 had it on ebay! I put a set of Gatorskins on it because I don’t really trust 25 year old tires – even though they look good still. The wheels are 36 spoke Raleigh specific and labeled that way. The hubs are Sansin sealed bearing.
cheers!

Hey
What wheels did this come with? I just picked up one of these and I think my wheels aren’t original.
Thanks,
Nik
