1-26A Ser 006 Tire and tube

Hi guys, I recently purchased a 126 a serial number 0 0 6 it has been stored for a very long time and probably has the original Tire still on it I am looking for a 4.00 / 4.80 -4 tire and tube. Ive tried the 126 News Group with no luck they won't approve my listing yet it's been a couple of weeks so I thought I would try here.

No longer available.
Replace with 4.00-4. Desser has it. Flatter "ribbed" profile works better for brake. You will have to rework the brake band due to slightly larger diameter.
Good luck

What UH said no big deal put her on there and enjoy. Are u a member of 1-26 assoc yet? Great group and once your a member we have a email chain where u can get answers to anything 1-26 imaginable.

UH and I owning SGS-126 SN 002..... yes, normally use a 4.00 x 4.00 tire and tube....
Yes, "brake band" on tire OD may need some tweaking (due to different tire tread...).....not that a band brake worked well in the dry, forget about it on damp/wet grass....but you should be able to land slow...;-)
Trust me....BTDT.....

Trade in that Ventus?

Thanks guys for the clarity Ill check with desser but didnt see the 4.00-4 right off. No Dan, sold the Ventus 2 years ago for a 27, jut bought this 1-26 on a whim (read cheap) with the hope of letting others fly her around AZ

410/350-4 4 PLY TRAC TIRE ONLY is the only tire that desser list on there web site. UH is that the one you are refering to?

wings and wheels has a 4-400 (400-4?) Aero classic, I used one of these on an SHK.
It was okay and might work well on a 1-26, but it was not as high quality as a Tost 4-400, but the aero classic was 2/3 the tost tire, aero classic was not as 'round'.
good luck,
Scott

I understand from others that that one works fine.
I have a 4.00-4 with a flat profile(Aero Classic Rib) on 002 and our other 1-26's.
Part number is 06-00944 from AC Spruce. It has a flatter contact face that wears out more slowly with the band brake.
