A 120/50-26 tire would be 30.72" tall, according to this calculation that I found on the internet:
120/50-26 = 120*.50 = 60 / 25.4 x 2 (2 sidewalls) = 4.72″ + 26″ rim = 30.72″
I have six Cromotors already laced into six Surly Rolling Darryl rims, so it would be a big investment to change wheel types. I may buy one of these moto tires, trim it and use it as a tire liner.
It does look like it would make for a great tire liner http://www.jpcycles.com/product/179-323 :

Vee Rubber makes a motorcycle tube (also sometimes referred to as a tire hose) https://www.amazon.com/Vee-Rubber-Mo.../dp/B00SAFSXLU for the above tire.
I imagine it has a Schrader valve and hopefully a thicker rubber wall than bicycle tubes.
The latest online version of Vee Rubber's motorcycle catalog does not include 26" tubes, so this must be a new product.
Too bad the bicycle tube manufacturers do not yet offer a thorn resistant fat tire tube!
