Re: beautiful colloured uni

The bike industry labels rims by what the effective diameter would be if the rim had a 2" wide tire on it. So 20" rims are really 16" in diameter and 19" rims are really 15" in diameter. You can't find a 2" wide tire that fits a 19" rim, they only have 2.5" wide tires, so to "simplify" things (confuse noobies) people just call wheels with either 20" rims or 19" rims 20" wheels. -- zfreak220 You're schizophrenic?
