I've seen a cheap carbon 26" wheel mountain bike wheel up for grabs. what's the usual width of these things? is it going to look like I've just got it off a tractor or can I get a skinny enough tyre on it do you think? also how much difference in size is there between 650c and 26", I had the feeling it wasn't much?
Erm,
Thought it best to ask here.
I ride a pretty low-pro with a 650c front wheel
