----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- 1924 X and Henderson both used the same wheels and tires. These were listed as 27 inches x 3 1/2". The modern equivalent tire size would be the 3.85-20 Clincher tires, available from Coker, Universal and maybe others. The rims would be 20", 40 spoke, same front and rear. These are available from Al McRoberts in Michigan, he advertises in the AMCA. I had a set of original rims that I sent to him some years ago. From that, he made me one set of new rims that have the staggered nipple hole which is peculiar to X and Henderson. If you didn't know it, it would be tough to see. They did this so the spokes did not touch where they crossed. I've decided to use drop center rims and tires as I plan to do some serious riding with my 24 Big X, so this set of rims is available if you're interested. Gene Harper yes I'd very interested send me a price what you want & will see if we can get togather.You will have tires on still won't you. I just need something to roll around.This one hasn't run in years and trying to get parts gathered up & get it running again! ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- What size wheels are correct for a 1924 Henderson |
