I don't know the answer to the second question ; this size and the rims are probably off topic. Because of their applica tion, satisfying ideas of minimizing frontal air resistance, no tires l arger than 23mm nominal have been made. (with rare minor exception.) If one is old enough, a 650c bike reminds one of the 85% sized cutlery airlines used to employ for food service. Or how the world looks through some incor rectly ground lenses for vision correction. There may be some Georgena Terr y steel bikes using 650c wheels for smaller size frames, but they are not brazed steel.Harry TravisWashington DCUSA On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 10:32 AM, michele francesconi <mfrancesconi@ho tmail.com> wrote: Is´nt there someone on the list that has hands-on experience in racing 65 0 wheels in different triathlon eventsetc?
