Schwalbe tyres for Kronan bikes

Tyres for Kronan bicycles

The Kronan "Herrcykel", the Kronan model with a "men's" frame, uses an unusual tyre size - 54-584. This is a wide tyre, which fits a "26 inch" rim, but the rim is not the same size as the other two popular "26 inch" wheel sizes, 559 for Mountain Bikes and 590 for traditional English roadsters. It can be difficult to find tyres which fit the Kronan rim.

Our favourite tyre for everyday use is the Schwalbe Marathon. This is a long lasting puncture resistant tyre and it's available in suitable sizes for the Kronan bikes.

The Schwalbe Marathon in the 55-584 size is just one mm wider than the standard 54-584 tyre and it is our current recommendation.

Women's frame Kronan bikes use a 47-622 size of tyre. In the current Schwalbe Marathon range the closest is the 44-622 size, which is three mm narrower.

Inner tubes

Schwalbe recommend using the DV19, AV19 or SV19 innertube (depending on your choice of valve) to complement the 55-584 tyre. For a 47-622 tyre, chose the DV, AV or SV17 size innertube.

If unsure about what tyre size you need, please read our guide to choosing the correct tyre size.

The Kronan isn't a Dutch bike, it's Swedish. However, we like to help people who have all types of everyday reliable bicycle
