Such a great deal I ordered two sets, one for a buddy to give his dad for Christmas.

Open the box and they sure were pretty, looked a bit small though but with out the tires on I just figured.......WRONG!!! doh!

They are 650c! Who Knew? Was so blinded by a good deal, weight and some reynolds bling, I didn't bother to do any research on wheel sizes and in my pathetic noobyness didn't assume there might be different sizes. I mean **** they all look the same in a thumbnail pic on line. Hello is there anyone in there?

Well they are going back ASAP. lets hope they are returnable as I didn't bother to look at that either. ha


Who uses 650cc rims on a regular sized road bike frame baring women and children of course?
