Website says they have 28 inch DTSwisd wheels, but DTSwiss doesn't list those wheels except in 650b/27.5 or 700c

 

What's going on?

Does the spec sheet give the tyre or rim size? 622 is 700c/29er. 

IIRC 29ers are so called because that's the approx diameter at the outside of an MRB tyre. Will vary with width of course.

Zooming in on a tyre on their website it shows the G Ones as 622…

700c = 28" (for road / gravel) = 29" (for MTB).

All of which = 622mm in ETRTO sizing. 

Gotta love the mix of metric, imperial, actual measured size and "oh its roughly that size with a tyre on" namings!

I always though 28" referred to urban/touring bike tyres, but as above, 700c, 28" and 29" all use 622mm rims

Schrödinger's  wheels....

They are 700c and 28" and 29" until such time that you mount a tyre on them, at which point they simply become 28" or 39" or even 700c...

Anyone ridden a Grizl? Any good?

I've got the e-bike version. It's very good but it's really only the name that's the same as the unpowered version so I'm not sure how much that info helps you...

Bitterly disappointed that it's called the Grizl:ONride, should have been the Grizl:E
