I saw [url= http://www.bikerumor.com/2011/07/20/jamis-rolls-650-bs-with-new-steel-and-aluminum-hard-tails/#more-33472 ]this[/url] and wondered a few things...
-which retailers stock 650b rims and tires?
-do they come with 650b specific forks, or are they 26/29'' variants? The nemesis has a specific fork, but the Dragon doesn't appear to.
-who else, besides Pipedream, make 650b frames?

we put Fox f100s on it - though White Bros make specific forks.
tyres mostly imported from the States I think. Rims? Velocity do some and are readily available.
hth
Ventana make one.
may i ask a simple question, WHY!?
all i can see is people being left with no spares in a few years, how many remember the early Cannondale 24" rear wheel bikes.
650b is good if only because they are measured in metric!

where i'm living is quite flat so i'd like a bigger wheel. Sadly, i don't like the look of 29ers.
White bros make specific forks? I bet they'll be expensive too
I've got Maverick forks on both my 650b bikes. Tyres rims from Dinosour bikes or Singlespeed central in NL
Ive got some brand new Pacenti tires for sale if anyone is interested...
According to an email I got from [URL= http://www.justridingalong.com/ ]just riding along[/URL], they have some 650b rims in stock.
I have a pair of used stans ztr 650b rims and Pacenti tyres I would sell, if anyone needs them. my email address is in my profile.
@ riverdog:
I' interested in your rims and tyres and sent you an email
my address in profile, just in case.
thanks!
Xfusion do a fork that is convertable to 650b using an internal spacer - freeborn do them just over £300.
