Dear Randy,
Thank you for your inquiry. At this time there aren't any airless options for a 650c tire. However we should be able to create a Tire Cork in that size at some point in the future. Until then, any tire with a Vectran breaker or multiple layers of puncture protection will be all you can hope for. The Panaracer Closer Plus has a protection layer in it and the Continental Ultra Gatorskin is about as tough a tire I think you can find in that size. Over the last three years I've seen a decline in the number and diversity of 650c tires, so finding tires like the Marathon Plus might be hard. I wished I could help you more.
Thank you
Hugh

Hugh,
My recumbent uses 650 cm size tires.
My bicycle is a Volae Team recumbent.
Can YOU make a air free tire for me?

Greetings,
My name is Hugh and I design tires at Tire Bank.
Please read my White Paper Interviews and I will be happy to answer any
questions.
Please read all the interviews before you ask questions.
There are three areas of technology:
Airless Tires
#1 Airless Tire Industry Heating Up

#2 Airless Tire Reduces Effort By 50%

Solid Inserts, Tire Corking
#3 Solid Tubes To Exceed 100M Sales
http://www.airlesstiresnow.com/publi...interview3.asp
All of these offer promise so I wish to start some good dialogue and clear
up any misunderstandings there are about the airless technologies.
In disclosure, I sell a lot of rubber tires (a lot) but I also sell and
design airless tires. I am one of the few people in the world that can talk
about both. These means I can put tires in a frame of reference to help
people understand where the airless products fit in.
Please use this opportunity to find out what airless products can and can't
do. Please be polite and respectful to all.
Thank you
