Since it's a French size, you can find something if you google "pneu 500A"
I don't know how easy it is to order tires from France!

Try XXCycle.com

First search for "pneu 500A" turned up two different choices:

I bought something from them online. They were easy to deal with and delivery was fast.

Interesting site Chas!

Sorry to hijack the thread but if I'm reading it correctly these are actually 122 bcd Stronglight chainrings. (Actually looks like a dual whole for two different sized cranks).

Those are 122mm BCD for the last version Stronglight cranks that used that size - 103, 104?

I special ordered some 38T rings to sell/share with other users. When they arrived I discovered that they didn't have counterbores on the back side for the bolt heads to fit flush with the rear of the chainring.

I had to pay a machinist to cut those counterbores into the rings. Anyone interested in the in buying one of these 38T chainrings, PM me.

They are anodized and don't quite match appearance wise but they're beefier than the original Model 93 and 105 rings which is probably a good thing for climbing.
