I celebrate diversity. My Saluki is 650B and the Riv custom 700C. I find subtle differences between the two wheel sizes but nothing dramatic. So having the diversity has persuaded me that there isn't anything 'magic' about wheel size. Tire diameter and inflation pressure seem far more dramatic to me. Others feel differently and favor one wheel size over the other.
If you go the diversity route you get to experience both sizes and formulate your own beliefs. With diversity comes complexity. If you want a generator hub you have to choose between wheel sizes. You need different replacement tubes. You can't swap wheels from one bike to the next. All food for thought. -JimD On Nov 24, 2011, at 6:07 PM, Justin August wrote: > H folks- > For reasons that are personal and non-important I'm looking at upgrading my > Bleriot to a Hilsen.
