Can anybody confirm the Rigida labels? I acquired pair of Rigida 13-19s with a bike and I've been able to mount both 700c and 27" tires on them, which left me kind of puzzled. Is this common? I left the 27" on since the tires that came with them were 27". The Rigidas are red labeled.

Actually, I believe that the "red" versus "blue" coloration distinction was one adopted by French rim builder Rigida with respect to 700C versus 27" rim sizing. To the best of my knowledge, Super Champion and most certainly later Wolber rims did not adhere to this convention.

Don't the 27" Super Champs have blue labels, and the 700C ones red labels?
