alternate wheel compatibility? (switching from road to hybrid, 29er, etc)

Yeah, but I think if I did the wheels, might as well put in a freewheel you can use indexed shifters on, which then requires new derailleur, etc, which opens a whole can of worms! Seems like most of our shops have some kind of 27 tires, but I'm in a town that loves it's old-schoolers! We'll have to see how well I do with the friction shifters (which I haven't touched since I was like 12 yrs old), then maybe I'll get into wheel changing, etc.

yeah that is what I am afraid of!
