  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. http://www.theaftermarketgang.com/primo/primo.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.

    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. http://www.ice.hpv.co.uk/

  8. www.danscomp.com 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:

    http://www.sheldonbrown.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.
