I am restoring a '70s Twinn Deluxe and am to the final point of the wheels. The tires say "26x1 3/8 to fit Schwinn s-5 or s-6 tubular rim."
The dilemma I'm facing is that the hoops are beyond re-furbishing and I am looking to replace with new along with spokes/nipples. What size rim will I need to buy and also what guage spokes? The spokes in the rim are super heavy guage(it was suggested possibly motorcycle spokes had been added?) It does have good condition original hubs and the rear is the Atom drum brake which I really wish to re-use.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Mark
