Hey LFGSS,

I recentely (actually, today) picked up a lovely old pursuit frame. The thing is I'll need a 27" front wheel for the frame.

Been browsing the web a bit and I haven't really found what I was looking for. I know there 26" (650) and 28" (700) wheels but I can't really find any 27" wheels, only found a few "citybike" wheels. (they are really thick, not for a road/track bike usage)

Anyone that could enlighten me? Are there any 27" wheels for road/track bikes around? If that's the case; any Deep V manufacturers that make 'em?

Pardon my english.

Sprints, which you would have ridden on the track are 700c, 27's are effectively a "low pressure" open tubular. There is some availability, but limited. How many holes will your wheels have? 32/40?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
