also watch progress on this link https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/123963-converting-a-26-to-a-650b/

I see on the list Scott spark 30 works, so maybe you are lucky. But, you will have less clearance fron and rear, so might be issue in mud!

If you have a fox shock in front, 650 should fit no problem rear wheel will be a case-by case story. Either you are lucky, or you are not.

In between size from 26" and 29" currently responsible for many fights on the hub https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/123406-650b-is-not-275/ http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/650B-wheel-size-comparison-diagram.jpg

If you have a 26" with a fox shock, why not go 650b http://www.650bpalace.com/ for a list of frames that can take the conversion

Forgive the double post. Phones acting funny

see Aran Brown also started his own team with Richard Baxter decided to rather race locally that overseas with MTN. http://www.supersport.com/cycling/sa-cycling/news/121121/Brown_and_Baxter_aiming_for_glory

http://www.650bpalace.com/ for a list of frames that can take the conversion

Apparently Omnico released a statement saying that if you convert to 650b using fox fork, the warranty is void. Apparently if you go down a drop off as big as a house, and the shock bottoms out, the crown can stop the wheel, causing immediate facial distortion. apparently lethal... I am also converting my chinese blank carbon frame I used as a training bike. It has an epicon (suntour) shock, lots of clearance.. getting my frame back today after having it spraypanted white, build should be done next week.

Just dont do Irene, Olifants on your own. Or carry a gun, not that safe

Looking at it, it seems like a mozambique spitting cobra.

If I remember correctly, at the time that he was on the postal team he was put on "medicall leave" because his hemocrit level was > 50

I did the 70km, was quite tough, but took it easy, as in my awesome cleverness, I also entered for the Soweto marathon that was yesterday. I was a tad broken yesterday, no pills for stupidity. taking two days off.....

No-one?

Anyone doing this, or have done this? Me and the wife decided to do this on our way down from Pretoria to Kleinmond, looking forward to it. http://www.makadasadventures.co.za/Leeuwenbosch.html Any opinions on this?
