oh and i went ahead and bought the yankz. love em!
If it's your first tri (like mine coming up Aug 13) presumably you will use whatever bike you have available and the wheels already on it.

The 650C wheel is slightly smaller than a standard road bike wheel, and allows manufacturers of specially made tri bikes to design them with a lower rider head and torso position for better aerodynamics at least in theory.
