PJ, could you give me a bit of advice, please? I've got my eye on a bike with 27" wheels. Now I know that would leave me with a limited choice when it comes to rims and tyres, but are there any other pitfalls I should be aware of before I part with my money?
Is the ride noticeably different from 700Cs? Are tyres wider than an inch evil? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
