Funny how for a while, the posts all seemed to lament the passing of Ram/Rom and lately we hear from the Ram/Rom “haters”. Similarly now 650B size. The selling points for me on 650B were 2 fold. First, the larger volume of air in the tire gives a plusher ride, especially over coarse surfaces. I find they also grip well in corners. Using stiff tires or high pressures negates that advantage. Second, the lower axle height of a 650B lets me straddle a larger frame. 50 CM in 700 size wheels became 54 in 650B. I prefer the larger frame size, particularly when riding in drops (as into a headwind). I think they look great too.

Switch to one of the quality 650Bs and get back to us. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
