Agreed -- MTB wheels will definitely not work with your brakes.
What about 26" racing wheels? Otherwise, look for 26 x 1-1/4" (an old British club size) tyres to fit your 26 x 1-3/8" rims.
Good thinking, John.
Hey, you know what. I have some old 26" inch wheels I can sell you for $25.00 total for the set (front and back). They came from an 1970's vintage ten speed. The rear wheel has a five-speed freewheel and everything. Contact me through the forums.
What a nice guy. I feel like Santa.
