It is hard getting them to answer questions before the sale, and impossible after.
That website that compared MAC and BMC had some links to North American vendors.
Ok, I'm pretty much sold on the EM3 site.
But I wonder how many various sizes he carries of wheels.
I would like to stay with the exact same size range I already have.
Seems that maybe I might be better off doing the freewheel and rim here.
I have a cross tour mountain bike, that has DXT 116 rims(622mm).
It originally had 36-ish size tires, and I put Continental 32's on it, which work perfectly for me.
I'd need to match all of that to keep the bike running the way I like it.
