Hi all
Another newbie upgrade question
I am running the original wheels on my 85 Raleigh Clubman and I think its time for an upgrade, which will also allow me to replace the freewheel with a more climbing friendly range of gears.
The originals wheels are 27 x 1 1/4 Weinmann with Maillard hubs and a 6 speed Suntour cassette.
I assume it will be easier to fit some 700c wheels (assuming I can get some brakes to allow for the different drop). Or are there 27 x 1 1/4 that are available to allow me to use the same new tyres and tubes I have bought.
What wheels do people recommend, my budget is around £75 - £100
