my old bike uses 27 X 1.25 wheels I‘m wondering if I‘m able to switch the wheel set out for 700 C wheels without too much of a problem its a takara road bike created in the 80‘s
well they don;t just bolt on with no problem as you can see wle
The radius of a 700c wheel is 4mm smaller than a 27 x 1 1/4 (not 27 x 1,25) wheel. If your brake pads can be adjusted downward 4 mm you can use 700c wheels. Be warned that current 700c wheels have wider rear axle spacing than your old wheels may have so you will have to spread the rear dropouts for the wheel to fit
