Howdy all, first time posting... I went to the bike shop to order a bike last week, so while I am anxiously awaiting for their call, I thought about rehabilitating my 25 year old 12 speed so I could learn a little about maintenance and stuff... basically the only thing I knew was how to lock it up!
The first thing is the tires are flat since they are probably 20 years old! Anyhow, I believe the tires are 27 inch tires, one of them 27x1 3/8 and the other 27x1 1/4. Does that mean it doesn't matter what width tire I get, they will seat into the rims just fine? Also, from some googling it seems like 27" is obsolete, so will it be easy to find the tires and tubes? Thank you!
