I am looking for rim brake wheels. I saw some on ebay but the description contradicts itself...can you help?

here is what it says..:confused:

New, Rhynolite 26" Disc Mountain Bike Wheels!
Silver 36H Sun Singletrack Disc only rims, built with Shimano XT M756 6 Bolt disc hubs. Silver DT spokes.Can also be used with rim brakes. XT skewers and basic rim strips are included. Handbuilt, never mounted or used.
there is some shading in the color of the sidewalls which if very common on un machined sidewalls

With out seeing the actual listing it sounds like the wheel is compatible with both rim and disk brakes. I'm not sure if that is the contradiction you are talking about or not. Disk Wheels can have a rim on them that can be used for rim brakes as well. I have one on my bike right now. I hope this helps.

Sun Singletrack are a disc only rim, the Rhyno Lite rims have a rim brake surface. But the wheels are one or the other. I'd look for a seller who knows what they actually have for sale. :confused:

That indeed was the dilema. I had to believe that this seller had no idea what he had
