Jeepdude Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 WICKED! now that is the ultimate race machine to me... 650B dually xc machine! Caerus 1
JPLRoux Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks for the envy! She sure is nicest!Unfortunately 650B doesnt fit the 5" MSL. The wheel rubs frame when bottomed out. But on the RSL, air out and all, there is about a 5-10mm clearance, when BOTTOMED-out. With normal use all is clear. Clearnce with 2.25" Schwalbe is around 10mm min in the back. But I will probably put on the 2.1" Pacenti Neo-Moto's that I got today, so clearance should be plenty then. If you want one, ask your local Rocky Mtn dealer to contact Eugene at Rocky MTN... sschaaweeeet!
yeboabe Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 How easy is it to get some 650B or 27.5 rims and tyres in SA?
JPLRoux Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 ZTR wheels are back-ordered quite a bit now, after the PMB Nino win on 650B's.I luckily got on the bandwagon early Tyres: I have a pair of Racing Ralphs 650B for sale in the classifieds.

Jeepdude Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 sorry ek sien nou jy het Neo moto's gekry nie Quassi moto's nie.. DIe quassi moto is meer race profiel en die Neo lyk BAIE soos 'n nevegal
Jeepdude Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 this is the tread on the Quassi Moto on a 26 inch Dt swiss fork
JPLRoux Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Took the NeoMoto 2.1's for a Welvanpas spin this morning, and the bike is sooper fast, luckily I have the M985 XTR brakes to keep the thing in its cage! Edited April 6, 2012 by jaksterfoto
zootarootoot Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 where can i get a 27.5 rear wheel? haven'tr seen any. thanks!
Dustbug Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I believe the next lot of stans wheels and rims will be in at the end of the month We have tested the 650B on the rocky MSL 50 and 30 and both fit with the fox 32 forks the clearance is not huge about 1cm under the fork and on the back tyre that is with schwalbe's
