Reddit reviews Wheel Master 27 x 1-1/4 Rear Bicycle Wheel, Freewheel, Silver 36H

I'm not an expert but I don't see why you couldn't just lace a single speed hub into your 27 1/4 wheel? For the record a 27 1/4" wheel is usually an ISO size of 630 mm. A 700c wheel is an ISO of 622mm so there is literally only 8 mm of diameter difference between the two. You can drop to a 700c and still keep the same tire width. If you want to stick with that size here's a wheelset for cheap that should work

Has some advice for respacing and getting new wheels to fit.

You can get some new 27 wheels

but they're going to be cheep machine built single walled rims and I can't recommend them.

Until recently I thought Velocity still made the Dyad (good solid touring quality rim) in 27", but I can't find any in-stock.

They do have

synergy and aero rims in 27" which are double walled and availble in 36 spoke count

They also have a fully built wheel, handbuilt 36 spokes would come out to about $100. Would still use a freewheel so you're existing drivetrain should be compatible, but frame spacing is 130mm which is probably wider than what you have (120 or 126). Take a look at sheldon brown's frame-spacing or you're LBS 'might' do it (don't be surprised if the don't though because of liability issues)

New here. Front wheel recently stolen, seeking help confirming correct replacement size.

Remaining rear wheel: Weinmann Rm19 27 x 1.25 X28c/350C ETRTO 630x19

Would this be a proper replacement? Any help or suggestions super appreciated.

Thanks.

You'll want something like this Wheelmaster

You can get the front and rear together for about $90, and they generally get good reviews.

Also note, if the bike has friction shifters you could step up to a 7 speed cassette from the 6.

> Just to be sure, I looked at the freewheel hubs and wheelsets in local e-shops, they're all 130

Huh

I would expect all MTB freewheel hubs to be 135 today, all road 126.
