Hello people.
I'm currently dusting off an old early 90s Pug as a winter training training hack bike. Everything appears grand but the wheels are rubbish. I'd like to change them and it's a 5 speed.

Can anyone offer any advice/links/experiences?

Cheers

    Your frame will have 126mm rear dropouts, modern wheels need 130mm. In practice it won't be a problem with an old heavy gauge steel frame, just prise the dropouts open with your thumbs and the wheel will drop in.

    Duly noted Joe. Thanks for the help. I'll investigate further.
