Purchased Aerospace Pro (clinchers) advice on tires/rims

These conversations on the forum have a fair bit about tyres (tires):

But perhaps Soop has some others in mind?

I think it's true that the Panaracer Paselas have a good reputation on the forum and with other cyclists as well. (Although the time I used them they seemed to wear out rather quickly, but perhaps that was because of the way I ride.)

There is still quite a range of 27" (630mm) tires (tyres) available if you look for them, although the skinnier ones - 1 1/8" (28mm) and less - aren't as common as 27 x 1 1/4" (630x32).  The tires (tyres) are still being made in this size in small numbers, but there is undoubtedly a bigger choice in 700c (622mm).  There shouldn't be any problem in rebuilding a wheel with new rims on an old Viscount hub.  The caliper brakes used on Viscount bikes usually have enough adjustment to allow for the extra 4mm drop required.

Hi Craig, and welcome,

Yes, you'll find that a number of folks here, me included, have rebuilt Viscount hubs into 27" and 700c. I used Arraya Aero 1 tubular rims, which I like for that bike. My other fully assembled Viscount has the OEM 27"ers, which I will eventually replace. I used the spoke calc sheet that I found through Sheldon Brown's wheel pages, spocalc
and the lengths I got from this one spoke calculator were within 1 or 2mm, enough to ignore on a tubular or box type rim.
