Those are great suggestions, and the more I research and talk to other people, the more I feel I should just buy a new 700c wheelset. I still don't understand the measurments, as I mentioned in an above post:
Oh I thought 700c was larger than 27. I saw it here,
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html#iso and was confused by what it says for 622mm and 630mm because I if 622mm is 700c then of course that is smaller than 630mm, but then the traditional sizing for 622mm says it is 28xsomething, so 28 is larger than 27.. you see why I got confused?
I'd still like to know why that is. Any ideas?
