Actually, I caught that and it is why I pointed him to a website on wheel size. A measurement of 24" doesn't really tell us what the wheel/tire size is because, as you probably know, the 27" or 700c doesn't refer to the diameter of the wheel, but the diameter of the tire that goes on it. The actual rim diameter for both is smaller as is the bead diameter. I just wanted him to reference the actual rim measurements (and where and how to take them) and compare that to the nomenclature commonly used.
