i need hoops
hey all ...i need some place to get some cheap 700c hoops to finish my wild 3 speed 1971 schwinn racer. any ideas where i can score some good used or NOS stuff. spokes could be handy too,... i know the stuff i have will not fit because of me running high flange hubs....all mine will be the wrong length. thanks all james

700C rims are readily available on eBay and elsewhere. SheldonBrown.com and others have spoke length charts. Another option is to find a decent set of old high-flanged 700C wheels and swap rear hubs.

thanks, i'd love to get them from you. email me at karlkaferkaferbeetle@yahoo.com with how you want to get paid. really appreciate it. i am running a 3speed hub on this bike because i did not want to spread the frame to fit a freewheel hub. hence the reason i'm needing to build some wheels. all i have are some 26" hoops and i need taller ones to fit the weinmann calipers i want to aid the old coaster brake. thanks ... james
