Those are all repro tires. They will not fit on bicycle rims at all, as the bead specs are different.

The solution to that is to use the proper vintage-repro motorcycle rims as well, but then you're looking at $250-$350 for each tire, and $100+ for each rim.

There's no question that it would work--but in the last several years I've been visiting here, I have yet to see one person do it.

That is not correct. The second ones posted, the coker simplex 26 x 2.5 servi-cycle reproductions do, in fact, fit a 26" bicycle rim. As a matter of fact, the earliest simplex rims where bicycle wheels.
