Anyone got some 650...
 

[Closed] Anyone got some 650B wheels I could borrow to see if they fit in a frame?

playing with the idea of seeing if i can squeeze some 650B's into the ellsworth as I've seen a couple of chaps in states have done it and they think it makes a tip top bike even more fun, but I need to see how tight the clearance is on the back. If it's too tight It'll die horribly in the UK mud fest that is 90% of the year with any decent tyre width on.

does anyone have either:

some wheels I borrow for a quick fit and look to see if it'll work

Or

the dimensions of a 650B with some 2.25 raplhs or similar so I can have a measure up.

cheers

You can borrow my spare set for a few weeks if you like mate. Dan has them at the minute but once he's done they're yours for a while!

Aye! They are Velocity P35 rims built onto a King Geared rear and a Hope ProII front with QR hub.
