26 x 1 3/8 Inch ISO 590 Three-Speed Wheels from Harris Cyclery

The wheels shown below fit most three-speed bikes . Note that there are at least five different "26 inch" sizes , and this ISO 590 mm size is somewhat obscure these days, though it was the standard size for popular three-speed bikes from the 1940s through the 1970s.

These wheels will fit most three-speed bikes, but will not fit "mountain bikes" or "cruisers" built for the smaller ISO 559 mm rim diameter.

We ship hard-to-find parts, tools and accessories all over the world

Basic steel replacement wheels:

These are similar in quality to the original equipment wheels on typical three-speed bikes. They have steel rims, plated spokes. They're machine built wheels, nothing special, but if your original wheels are wrecked or rusted out (of if you have one of the troublesome TCW or SW hubs) they're good replacements.

Rear WE368 26 x 1 ³/₈" Sturmey-Archer Freewheeling
AW 3-speed Hub$109.95

Chrome-plated steel "Endrick" type rims, plated spokes. Hub is steel shell version.

Includes Trigger shifter, cable and 19 tooth sprocket.

Rear WE370 26 x 1 ³/₈" Sturmey-Archer Coaster Brake
AW/CB 3-speed Hub$129.95

Chrome-plated steel "Endrick" type rims, plated spokes.

If your bike came with one of the dangerously unreliable TCW hubs, this is a good upgrade.

These newer AW/CB model hubs do not use the gear train to operate the brake, so the brake works equally well in all gears, and will even work reliably if the shift cable is misadjusted.

Includes Trigger shifter, cable and 19 tooth sprocket.

Front WE365 26 x 1 ³/₈" Matching Front Wheel $29.95

Chrome-plated steel "Endrick" type rims, plated spokes.

Nutted ("bolt-on") hub.
