Are there lots of 26" frames out there waiting and suitable for 650 wheels? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mavic-xc717-good-for-a-thrash#post-3835445 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:44:45 +0000 hazzeryoda 3835445@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>OK so the good old XC717 discs are an XC rim, right?
