Wanting to replace the QR front and rear wheels on my '88 Schwinn World Sport. I've sussed out that the wheels are called "27" (actually 25.2 outside rim diameter), with a 1 1/4" tire. Yes, I know I can convert to a 700cc by dropping the brake pads slightly. But I'd like to order the original size if possible. Yes, 27" rims are now scarce, but they are also inexpensive. It would be a show of support for the few companies still making them, I guess.

Anyway. I also have a frickin' beautiful '80 Nishiki. Of the bikes in my garage - including the Tarmac - it's my favorite ride these days. (I'm not even sure why.) But it has a bolt-on (not QR) front wheel.

So I'm wondering if a QR front wheel is interchangeable with a bolt-on type. If so, I can give the Nishiki the new stuff, and put the "hand-me-down" from the Nishiki onto the Schwinn. Thanks.
