Ok, so [b]NOT 650b+[/b] but standard 650b wheels and tyres.
Might have the opportunity to purchase a second bike at a good price, but its a 29'er and without going into why, I just do not want one.
So my question is if I was to fit 650b wheels and run it on those instead of the 29'ers its just the same as those bikes that do the 650b+ and 29'er thing but the tyres and rims are a little narrower, right??
Also, would 650b+ fit in the frame/forks as poss another option?
Cheers
Carlos
B+ fits in a 29 frame. Non + might leave the bottom bracket too low.
Which Specialized? If it's a pre-2017 Stumpjumper it's borderline too low already, you'll struggle. Enduro you might get away with it, much higher.
Cheers BB. I'll have a mooch through that at lunch
Oh yeah, model might help with answers 😉

Im sure there are folk in there that have done it. You can search the thread
Search on the Dirt Website. I'm pretty sure they experimented with running an Enduro with different wheel and tyre combos last year. Was quite a good read. I think as long as the BB isn't too low it should be ok and give you the option to run 29 if you need to.
