I've got a 1971 U08. I've replaced a few pieces here and there over the years. I still have super heavy wheels on there and I'm thinking about swapping them out for lighter 700c ones; nothing fancy...I'm just looking to lighten the bike, and the old wheels are kinda dented (hey, what do you expect...I rode this in college!).

Since the rear cluster is not a cassette but rather a hub, is this going to be a PIA to match up? How do I even go about it? I'm no mechanical genius but my LBS will work with me on doing all of this. So what would I need to do?

My other issue is that the rear wheel has some play in it; I assume the hub to be the culprit.

Thanks,
