  1. Hi folks..picked up a Schwinn 26" 3-speed down at the salvation army store
    and need to replace one tire. The original tire is a 26 x 1 3/8 37-597

    The closest thing I could find without mail ordering was a 26 x 1 3/8
    37-590. I was wondering if that'd be ok. I did get it on the rim, but the
    new tube I had was either defective or the mis sized tire may have damaged
    it.

    In any event, I had a oversized bubble in the tire where the tube over
    inflated in one spot by the valve.

    ....Dunno how that happened...

    Thanks for any info.
