Hoping somebody can help me with this: I've just bought a 1938 Empire Star and need to get the wheels repaired and re-tyred. At the moment the bike has a 19in x 3.5in rear wheel, and a 20in x 3.0in front. Anyone know if these are the correct size wheels for this model?
Thanks

It looks like the front wheel is a WM2-20 and the rear a WM2-19 - but don't take my word for it and check yourself!
Thanks for quick reply and the link to the parts books - according to the 1938 book my wheels are indeed as you say: WM2-20 and WM2-19. I don't expect too much availability in the way of tyre choice for the 20in wheel!
