On my Paramounts I have removed the "original" wheels and stored them. The 71 has wood filled tubular rims, the 73 had the Weinmann clincher rims. I can testify without doubt that those old clincher rims totally sucked, as they had no lips to hold the tires. I built wheels for both bikes using the correct Campy hubs and later clincher rims, Mavic Module E on the 71, and later Weinmann clinchers on the 73 that have hooks.

I did build a set of Mavic Open Sport rims for another Paramount I no longer have. They worked well, and are now waiting to go on another bike one of these days.
