I put 650B on a 54.5 frame so I could stand over it more comfortably (my normal size frame for a 700 wheel road bike is 50 cm). I put 12,500 + miles on it and loved it. 38 is the max size. I thought the handling in particular was great. YMMV. Conti makes a good 28 mm 650B tire, others availabl

I was just measuring and analyzing my 2000 Curt for a 650b conversion. I thought I might get a 42 in there but it would be tight. Thanks for the thread, this is all very helpful. Len On Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 1:51:02 AM UTC-4 Peter Bridge wrote: > On Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 1:29:48 PM
