You're probably going to have a difficult time keeping a 2x 27" rim straight. If the rim is stiff, 2x can make a stiff but somewhat unstable wheel if the rim is stiff. If the rim is soft, like most 27" rims I've known, it's just unstable. The cheapest Fuji Newest used to come with 2x rear wheels that were always in need of truing. I don't recommend it.

I don't know the exact length you need. Have you tried these guys? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Qual...item43b8d90d09
