I have been given an old wheel that want to use on an old frame. The rim is a mavic, red and green label and marked 27 x 1 1/4
I bought a Michelin world tour tire and assembled. The tube pushed the tire off and the tube started to escape.
An beaten up Continetal was tried with the same effect.
The rim diameter is 4 -5mm smaller diameter when compared with 2 other 27 inch wheels.
I think the rim is too small, why would I have rim that is a few mm smaller that standard ?
