1 3/8" rims

Always liked the skinny wheeled look bitd so I'm looking for advice on any issues with fitting these to a standard frame ('83 Kuwi Nova). I know the rim diameter is larger than 1.75/2.125 so will there be problems with the brakes?
Cheers all

You will need shorter reach brakes for sure.

X2............As you say, rim diameter is larger than ya standard rims but rolling diameter will be more or less the same, 20''. No doubt tho' you're gonna end up needing shorter reach calipers.
