Who might sell a 27" wheel w/8,9,10 freehub rather than a freewheel
I have a Trek 510 frame, I'd like to put on 27" wheels rather than 700c's.
I also want to use some 9-speed brifters from the stockpile.
I'd like to use a freehub and cassette but all the 27" wheels I've seen are built with thread on freewheels.
Anyone know where I could look for this Dino/Modern combination, or do I need to build them myself?

you need to build one for yourself. as far it goes for your bike the 27 might not fit. Check spacing in the frame and the reach of your brakes. ( 700 c are a little smaller than 27 " ) .

700c wheels are more user friendly and readily available for your build, and will give you more clearance will take big tires and fenders as well.

If the OP were to be very meticulous in his search efforts using Google, Yahoo or Bing...and be willing to do 4-5 pages in depth...he will find that two people do so.

9 speed and 27 inch tires seem a little incongruous to me. I can understand the appeal of 27 inch tires, they are cheap and available everywhere (even Walmart), but 9 speed is rare, only available through bike shops, and being phased out.

Mrrabbit - I see you have built a few wheels! Who would you recommend as an online source of rims, spokes & hubs? Thanks.

bikeman715, the Trek 510 frame came with 27's back in '84 and you're right, they are a little bigger than the 700's, about 8mm I think. My stockpile also has a nice pair of 105 brakes I'd like to use, but the reach is too short for 700c's, so I'm looking at possibilities. Thanks

I agree with everyone else saying what is the purpose of using 27" wheels? only going to cause more trouble in the future. But if your set on it.

There are also 9-speed freewheels available.

EDIT: Ooops, didn't realize previous post was practically identical, since I didn't click link.
