You all had it just right about the rims. Pics of the rim. They are Weinmann 416 Alloy ETRTO - 630 x 16 27 X 1.1/4 Made in Belguim. I found these tires on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Road-R...9NDJ58GJ14GRGN I was going to give them a try unless someone has some input on why I shouldn't. The Amazon page says 27x1 1/4 is not the same as 27 x 1.25. Are my math skills that weak? Thanks for all the replies.
