Paul Patzkowsky asked:

In an effort to make my Paramount p15 (?) more responsive I decided to try a wheel change. The bike currently has 27 x 1 1/4 rims and tires and is rather sluggish. The Campy brake arms are too short for 700c rims. Should the bike have Weinman brakes and if so what type? +++++++++++++++++++++++ The 1972 Schwinn Paramount Specifications states that Schwinn Approved (Weinmann) brakes are standard, Campagnolo a $50 option.
