Apologies if this is a stupid question (i have searched), but what's the deal with a 650c rim on a standard bike that would normally use 700c?
I understand that the handling will be a bit more "lively", but what about the brakes?
Lots of people seem to have 650c front, 700c rear. And they look sweet.
It's what i'm looking for now I'm attempting a fixed build.
