Well, it turns out while the Helicomatic back wheel looks much better, is somewhat nicer, has six speeds, and fits in perfectly, it also has a half dozen frozen nipples that are now stripped. So, it is back to the less than pretty cosmetically original wheels that came on the Miyata, as I am on the countdown clock to get this thing on a plane and can't be bothered with more work than I already have
I'd love to keep the Maillard front on there, just not sure I want to have one Presta and three Schraders on the tour. Anyone have an opinion on mixing and matching those, simply from a spares perspective?
