My riv rolls on 26 inch wheels most of the time (or 650c) my fastest set of wheels are ultegra hubs, laced to mavic ma2 26 inch rims, db 15/16 spokes, except for drive side, which are 14/15, with performance forte metro k almost bald tires (tm). They fly. I also have pasela, they ride nice, a bit slower. I weigh 142 and use 78 lb in the tires, sometimes 80
