So the catch is the rim brakes would need to be taken off for the taller wheels, and some other braking setup employed??
I'm going to have to do some research on this, because i'd love to put 700c wheels on my uptown. I think it'd give me better high end ratio speed without doing much to the low end. Catch is, i can't use discs on this frame, and the hubs are what they are....
