Nah, it was an easy decision, the original 'chromed' rims were 'toast' so needed replacing but imperial sizes are dificult to find whereas 700c tyres are plentiful

Had such a torrid ride on the 27" test wheels I swapped back to the 26" wheels and hey presto one of the smoothest riding bikes you will ever find .
Oh and a new stablemate.

Came up on my facebook memory today that i have had this one 6 years .
Not had much use due to it needing new tyres and they are either mega expensive or nil stock everywhere
So debating what to do with the old girl , pretty sure i have some 26 s 1"3/8 Alloy rims somewhere or whether just buy a set of new single speed wheels from the bay ?

Could this thread win the award for the longest running on CC? Just shy of eight years.

No, for one it 6 years not 8
plus I'm sure a couple of 10 yr plus threads have been resurrected recently

Yes I have this set in watchBankruptbikeparts often have old wheels kicking about if you trawl through their Web pages
