700c v 650 wheels

Thanks, Denise...I may have to count those teeth on my chainrings and find out exactly what I have. I need to be more knowledgeable about some of this stuff. There was a time, many years ago, that I actually knew a few things about my bike, but I let that knowledge go where most unused knowledge goes ...

Don't get me wrong I love my 650 bike it's just I'm such a "girl" I love to have a lot of choices whether it's for shoes, clothes, OR WHEELS! When it's time to buy new tires for the road bikes Joe and Jackie oogle and oooohhhh over the many selections and I have maybe one or two.

I have averaged 17 mph (three years ago when I was in shape) riding with my hubby and our psycho bike friends. I remember keeping up with dh and looking at my speed and was surprised to see we were cruising on a flat stretch doing 24 mph and I was right on his tail. I love the quick acceleration that the 650s offer and I know I will give up some things in place of other things offered by the 700 wheels. I know the hills will be a tad bit harder having to turn over a larger wheel but hey my legs are strong (or will be again).

mimi . . . that's right your booth was close to the Rodriguez booth. You caught me in the act of major bike lust!

SBCTWIN, let me save you some time. There are NUMBERS on each little chain ring if you can find them. Hope that helps.

I believe my cranks are 50/39/30 . . . I'll ask dh when he comes home but I think that's what my 650s are.

Thanks Mimitabby, I will take a look when I get home after work. Unfortunately, my eyes are not what they use to be and I probably can't read that small of print, hee,hee,hee
