Wheel size bungle?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Horseye:
They're definitely bigger. Jon the bassist / Sheldon Brown has the answer.

These wheels will fit in the frame and forks but I don't know how/if I'll manage to get the brake blocks aligned to the rim, they're about 2cm further out...

Thanks for your help and any more advice/tips welcome!

The thinner the rim (1 3/8 & 1 1/8) the bigger the diameter but also the 'depth' of the tyre decreases to compensate.

I think.
