Find me a proper fitting tire for this rim/wheelset. Please! A sturdy, touring rim. Maybe this 700c DOES fit 27” tires. Haven’t tried that.
had those rims on the torpado i used to have..... diidn't have any problems with 700c tires.....don't remember brand/model..... but I have had tires that took a tire jack to get on.....if that happens, let them sit for a few days and then do a simulated flat on the road and if I can't get them off easily, then put differnt tires on
