  1. i bought the wrong sized wheels!! what do i do now? i bought a set of ARAYA TM820/STX RC ATB
    WHEels and though that i was buying 27 X 1 1/4 wheels. will these wheels fit on my fuji bike or
    on my univega bike which take the larger sized wheels? why can't the catalog say these are 26 X 1
    1/2 wheels?

    In a word, no. You won't be able to use them. Sorry!

    hey, you couldsend 'em along here, I have a kid brother with a birthday coming up... he's 14, hasn't
    ridden a 'proper' bike (as in, non-x*mart gaspipe) ever, and I figure he might ride more (and with
    me!) if I built him up something from good, used, donated, etc parts...

    [it also allows me to improve my wrenching skills, which is a good thing, right?]

    *big grin*

    it's for a good cause!

    Why would you think that? ATB = mountain bike. Anyone selling 27" wheels is going to specifically
    label them as such.

    No.

    Umm, it said "ATB Wheels", no? ATB=All Terrain Bike=Mountain Bike = 26" wheels.
