    does that mean my KH20 07 is a 19" uni? why is it called a kh20? :S

    Because the effective diameter is 20". The bike industry labels rims by
    what the effective diameter would be if the rim had a 2" wide tire on
    it. So 20" rims are really 16" in diameter and 19" rims are really 15"
    in diameter. You can't find a 2" wide tire that fits a 19" rim, they
    only have 2.5" wide tires, so to "simplify" things (confuse noobies)
    people just call wheels with either 20" rims or 19" rims 20" wheels.
