24" wheel option?
My wife has a Terry Classic touring bike that she uses for commuting and it's got a 700c wheel on the back and a 24" on the front. Goofy to say the least. She's always whinning about it being slow and while it isn't exactly heavy, the wheels on it weigh a ton. Sora hubs, MTB cassette and a no name rim.
She had a flat yesterday due to a faulty rim tape, which I don't have a spare. The solution I gave was to use my rear spare wheel which is a Mavic Open Pro with Ultegra hub and 12/25 cassette. She said her bike seemed much faster so now she's looking for a new wheelset.
Anyone know (other than Velocity) who makes a 24" front wheel for a road bike?
Thanks,
