Check the internet, I doubt you'll find any in Australia.

If 27" pops off, the next size down is 700c clincher.
I have never seen a 27 X 1 1/4 wood clincher rim, but have seen them or built them in 24 X 1 3/8, (wheelchair), 26x 1 3/8, 28 X 1 3/8, 28x 1 3/4 (same as 700c). Could you try a 700 X 35 clincher tyre on them?

I'm no expert on wooden rims... But that rim looks far too shallow for a clincher. The glue on it also suggests that it's had a tubular on it at some point.bicyclepassion wrote:They look like clincher rims to me.

Not likely seeing as he has already successfully fitted 700c tyres, which are nearly a 40mm larger iso size.Kronos wrote:Not sure about those rims, I haven't seen wooden clinchers that look like that... but the tyres look to be 650Bs at first glance.
Agreed, they both look absolutely fantastic!P!N20 wrote:Speedster - looks magic. That stem and handlebar has made my day.

Does anyone know up until roughly what year or decade they were still made?
Were they contemporary with steel rims but just a lighter alternative?
What were they like to ride. Like how was their strength and durability?

Maintaining the precious wooden rims is very easy. GHISALLO uses special coatings from boat building for the painting. I maintain the wooden rims with “Homemade Furniture Polish”! This is olive oil with a splash of white wine vinegar. Have a look at the small glass in the Picture. It must be applied with a soft cloth. After an hour I wipe off the rest and the wooden rims are ready for the next race.
>By the way, I care for bamboo rims with turpentine.

I thought that they were just a relic now, I had no idea that they were still being made.

I had a very close look at some 1950s track wheels with timber tub rims in the LBS a few years back when I was building up my ss 29er so that is how I knew about this lot. I did think long and hard about giving a set a run but the price for the phil hubs used blew out my budget. The wheels had been hanging in the shop wall for as long as I could recall and still had the odd spoke reset to keep them round but they were past the days of being able to ride them as they went brittle on the edges. Could have been because of the old glue they did use back in the day must have been quite harsh and dried out the wood? The new types of glues or the clincher rims they sell should have a pretty long life if you looked after them.
