Thanks, guys. Those 28mm Paselas look ace. I shoe-horned in the rims/tires from my '84 Schwinn today (about 29.5mm actual) and they're a tight fit, especially in the rear chain stays.

[MENTION=280039]Lascauxcaveman[/MENTION], yours certainly appears to be the same as mine, though yours may have been the 25" frame?

I have the front tire off that wheel and there appears to be nothing awry in the rim itself to explain the "bulge" (that grabs the brake shoes). There's no real "bulge" anyway...I think it's just a slight rim lip bend or something and maybe a super slight out-of-true that causes a conflict. I'll work on this to see if I can get this front wheel going. If I can, then I'll tackle the rear.

No real hurry; this is a free time project. :-)
