Well, I just noticed that Niagara Cycle Works is currently offering the Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 27 x 1-1/8 for only $15.29 each:)

Unfortunately, I think you're mistaken. I see $25.48.

Actually, the last pair of rims I bought was 27", and though I'm not particularly happy with them --not cheap, not hooked, look kinda flimsy-- I was happy enough to find them at all. I would jump at a chance to buy a pair of 700c's, but they don't exist in the 32/40 drilling. I know a bunch of people have been pestering Velo Orange to get some rims drilled with 40 holes, but no luck so far.

Speaking of which...what does Grant Peterson say about the issue? And is it safer to ride without a helmet on 27s or 700s? Is one better than the other for vehicular cycling?
