700C vs 650B: Do the letters mean anything?
It's not a question that keeps me up at night, but out of curiosity I've searched for what the 'C' and 'B' signify in wheel/tire dimensions and haven't found an answer. While we're at it, is there such thing as an 'A' or 'D', etc.? It's not quite as intuitive as boobs, batteries or Estes Rocket engines.

Ever seen an A or a B battery?
Actually I looked it up the other day. The A does the electronic stuff, the B heats up the vacuum tubes.
