Getting that size new might be a problem, but try the bike recycling place on Catherine St in Ottawa, slightly west of the bus depot, for some good used jobbies. If anyone in towne will have them, it will be them. While you are there, don't forget to ask for a couple of gratuitous "One Less Car" stickers. Stickem on the rusty old Volvo or some other car that screams "Bikes Kick A$$".
Best of Luck. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Lorraine Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [obc] Where can I find 27 x 1 1/8" wheels? Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2002 18:26:29 -0400 Hello, I am posting this note for a friend. Markus writes: I've got a good 1984 vintage road bike with 27" (630mm) wheels. I would like to keep using it, but the 1 1/8" tires on it are pretty much finished, and the local stores don't seem to stock 27 x 1 1/8" any more. Everything has gone metric (i.e. 622mm == "700C"). Everyone (even K-Mart) seems to have a cheap brand of 27 x 1 1/4" tire but I'd like something like the Continental Super Sport tires that MEC used to have for, like, $18 each. Now they have the SP1000 which are the same thing but, alas, metric only! If you have any suggestions as to where these wheels could be found, please drop a note to Markus at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Lorraine ------------------------------------------------- For list help, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Website: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------- Derek J.
