Has anyone tried a wheelset with one of the 650b+ (aka 27.5″+) tyres?
And other than the WTB tyre, what others are available?
The 650b+ is more or less the same diameter as a 29er, and I like the idea of being able to use these on a 29er frame for the added cush. (Although I suspect they probably prove to have too little clearance)
After getting a fatbike, I was going to cull out my 29ers because they don’t get ridden much now, but after seeing the improvement 2.8″ Dirt Wizards made to my ancient 1×1, I’d like to try a fattened 29er to see if it’s worth keeping mine.
Seeing as I already have a set of 650b rims, this would only involve building a wheelset and buying thetyres.
(Yes, I know about 29er+ bikes, but I do not intend buying another bike, this is to make an existing bike more useable)
