Wheels Bike
I have a basic vintage road bike. Is there a difference between the rear and front wheels?
If I replace the rear wheel, do I need to by a wheel specific for the rear of the bike? or are wheels generic and can be placed at either the front or rear of the bike?
Can I modify a front wheel to become a back wheel?
The front and rear wheels are not interchangeable. You cannot modify a front wheel to become a back wheel. Most bikes cannot swap 27" and 700C wheels due to the brake reach.
Most modern wheels have 7speed (126mm) or 8/9/10 speed (130mm) widths for the rear hub. This means that (1) you'll have to have the frame modified to accept the wider wheel, and (2) you'll have to modify your drivetrain to use the aditional gearing.
I suggest finding a used bike at a yard sale or flea market with the same sized wheels as your current bike and swapping the wheels. You should be able to find one for under $20.
