anrothar said:correct. but these are mountain specific rims, which means they're a little wider and stronger than 700c road rims. so calling them 29er helps to make that distinction. if you tried putting a 23c tire on a 28mm wide rim, you wouldn't be getting very far.
ytc100 said:I was thinking flat bars to compensate a little for the more upright geo.
Are 29er and 700c the same thing when we're talking about wheels?
