  1. I have a lightning handcycle. It's a lean-tilt handcycle
    trike. The two rear tires are in desperate need of
    replacement and I can't find them ANYWHERE! Does anyone have
    any idea where I can get 18"x1" (19-400) tires and tubes?
    I'm desperate!

  2. theaftermarketgang.comprimo.htm

    Here's one place. I searched "tire,19-400" to find it. It's
    a wheel chair tire, from the looks of it.

    Mark at Poweron Cycling sells 18x1 tubes for use with
    schwalbe tires. He may be able to get the corresponding
    tires www.poweroncycling.com

    Good Luck Tom

  3. Paul: I have no checked but the best results I get are from
    the Hostellshop.com Might give it a try. Bill M

    Thank you so much. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm
    not sure how I missed this one on my google search, I used
    the exact same search yesterday and couldn't find anyone
    who was carrying them. Thanks again.

  5. I don't see it in the Hostel Shoppe catalog, but they may have it. If
    you google it, you get stuff like:

    I've tried to contact these guys to no avail. I got in touch
    with Dr Jon Franks with Lightning handcycles and apparently
    I've got a very early model. It seems that these 18x1" (19-
    400) tubes and tires may not be made any more. If anyone
    comes up with a dealer who has them I will be happy to buy
    in large quantities from them. I'm going to keep looking.

    Don't know about the tyres, but ICE specify the tubes for
    their 406 wheeled trikes. ice.hpv.co.ukice.hpv.co.uk

    they sell the primo slic 18x1 tires and tubes and rims even.
    I am building a delta streamliner trike with two of those for the rear. seem like a nice high pressure slick.
    go to "bike parts"-"tires race/trails" scroll down and you should see them on the right.

  9. Harris Cyclery has 18 x 1.5" tubes and tires, and they also stock
    tires for the birdy folding bike which is an 18 x 1.12" tire and that
    should work. The URL is:

    sheldonbrown.comsheldonbrown.com

    Also, I take it you contacted the manufacturer of the
    Lightning Handcycle and asked them where to get the tires?
    If not, here is their address. 360 Sepulveda Blvd, Suite
    1005 El Segundo, CA 90245

    310-592-5479 Cell 888-426-3292 Toll Free 310-821-3349 Fax

    Sheldon Brown's site is an old favorite of mine.
