I had a search for this question and couldn't find an answer so I am posting it...
I'm helping my girlfriend out as she had her back wheel stolen. A friend of mine has a 27x1 1/4 wheel knocking about which she can have. However her original wheel and current front wheel are 700c. Would it be a problem to mix and match a 27 x 1 1/4 rear wheel with a 700c front wheel?
As far as I can tell the answer is no as it seems like there is only an 8mm difference between the two. But I just want to check before I cycle around to get it and then fit a new freewheel, tyre, blah blah!!
So if you can answer that question it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
