Indeed. On further review, the size is given as ISO 590. It would be a loose 
fit on my 559 rims.

Glad that I went by the RBW size chart :)


Sheldon's quote is spot on, as usual.

This appears to be the 650A version of the Col de la Vie.  26 x 1 3/8 is
NOT the same size as 559 MTB.  You really need to read this article:
