disc specific 700c rims?

[KeepItSteel]

Are there such a thing?

Excuse my ignorance...im venturing into roadie type geometry for the first time with an On-One Pompetamine...kinda cross/road frame which runs discs.
So, id like 700c rims but disc only, which i can run 32c road tyres.

I know I could use 29er rims, but are they suitable for 'road' tyres, or am i right in thinking they would be too wide?

Any examples or pics much appreciated.

interestingly, even though its a disc only frame On-One are selling them running standard 700c rims...so I wonder if this is an issue they discovered themselves when speccing.

29er rims would work, but I would buy Rigida Sputniks, myself; strong and cheap. They're rim brake, but that's OK, they will work with discs.

Failing that, the Zac 2000 is available as disc-only. But it isn't as good.

This would fit the bill, the VXC Disc 700c - www.velocitywheels.com/store/product.asp?pID=34&cID=18

I do like the looks of these though! www.velocitywheels.com/default.asp?cont ... lleryID=15

can anyone explain why 29" rims would work...yet 700c rims (which are intended for my frame) are also rreferred to as 622 or 28"?

Confused.com.... I just wants a pair of disc rims for me frame! :shock:

622 is the magic number, it's the ISO/ETRTO (International Standardisation Organisation/European Tyre and Rim Technical
Organisation) sizing of a 700c rim

See Sheldon for more info: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire_sizing.html
