IRO wheels, information?
I am considering buying a pair of IRO standard wheels for a fixie conversion. Are these wheels good? On their website they provide zero specifications about them. Anyone know what size they are and what size tires they'll fit? I emailed IRO but didn't get a response.

Also, consider anything from this site. They are all a reasonable value.

I checked it out and it looks like none of their rear track wheels have 126mm spacing, they are all 120. As my bike is a conversion it has 126mm spacing.

On the purchase page for the wheels there is a drop down box for rear wheel spacing options. There is 120mm, 126mm, and 130mm.

Are the IRO 126mm hubs really just their 120mm hubs plus spacers?
