i have a 700c front wheel with weinmann concave rims and joytech hub if anyone wants to trade. i'd use it but the brakes don't reach.
also, if anyone wants to lend me a helicomatic freewheel removal tool, or sell for cheap, i'd like to remove the broken plastic freewheel guard thingy
Got two Weinmann rims, concave, eyeletted (whichever model that was), but 700c. Also, whilst cosmetically they are fine, they would require some extra work on making them rounder.
As someone advised above, you could try brakes with longer reach. It's going to be something like 4-5x cheaper than replacing the wheels. Unless, of course, someone has the right wheels to trade on the forums.
