Fellow enthusiasts. I bought a set of Michelin Pro 2 race tires and thought I had a great ride coming. Since I bought them in the winter I didnt try mounting until two days ago. I found to my chagrin, that they are 650 tires and not as I had anticipated, 700C. What I am asking is how does this sizing work. The size on the tire states 650 x 23C, so are these 650'C' tires for triathlon, or the newer 650B for the newer randoneur bikes such as the Strawberry and Rivendell? Bruce
