Looking to get some new wheels for my 1978 Fuji Gran Tourer (got it a year ago after 15ish years of not riding so I’m a bit of a n00b). It currently has 27″ x 1 & 1/4″ wheels but I’m thinking of switching to 700c (x 28 – 32ish) mainly so I have more options than I can find in the 27″ world. It looks like my break pads can slide down in the caliper a bit so I think the 4mm difference is ok.
Now my bike itself only cost $250 so I’m not looking to break the bank on wheels. I’ve got one recommendation for http://bicyclewheels.com/ but am definitely open to other places (online preferred so I can avoid human interaction
).
Also, I’m not exactly sure what I need since I’m rocking a freewheel and it’s a 12 speed (6 cog rear). I’ve seen mention that spacers might be needed if I get something intended for a 7+ speed but I don’t even know what the spacers look like.
So that’s a few question in one post… obviously I need some guidance. Thanks in advance for the help!
