I need wheels. Maybe in the long run it would be better to get the more common 700c but I want a softer ride anyway so it seems the 27 x 1.25 tire will do that. |
Yup… can see that the rim is in the right place with that wheel. Interesting, thanks.
The 700c wheel and tire choice may well be larger than in 27s.
A 32mm (1.25 inches) will provide a couch like ride… at say 50/55psi if you’re tubeless. Be very nice. An internal rim width of 19mm would be desirable for that sort of tire width. Check with the tire manufacturer as to what they recommend. I use a 19mm internal width for 30mm road slicks and 35mm gravel tires.
