I've heard it said this was something to do with dunlop, making tyres that were a proprietary size, to corner the British market.
m_a_r_i_e My fave mudguards, Salmon Super Profil, fit 27 or 700 equally well, as they are aluminium and you can easily coax them into the right shape (partly cos they are almost flat section). They fit tyres up to 25c i.e. they are super narrow and sexy. Here they are on 700s but I promise you they fit 27s excellently
Get them here. You have to phone the guy to get them, no internet or emails (the guy's a proper luddite)
+1 on sjs for rims, they have lots of good 27s at the moment.
