Anyone got some 650B wheels I can try? Cape Town

[Flowta]

As the heading says, has anyone in Cape Town got a set of 650B wheels that I could try squeeze into may frame?

 

I have a good feeling they will work (and measurements seem to be ok), but would like to try it for real before I make plans to get a wheelset myself.

I have done it to my bike you need about 18mm of clearence top and bottom. No of a few bikes it cant be done like the anthem and some of the Meridas. Remember tyre choice is also limited but the American Classic wheels are cool not to heavy.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I'm using the following dimension on the Pacenti Neo-moto I got from MTBR.com from Kirk Pacenti (of Pacenti tyres) as my base.

 

Might be heading out to Ceres in the next month or so, if I don't come right before that do you think I could try yours out?

Do you know of anybody that sells them locally?

[El Dodgius Bastardo]

There's pretty much 0 stock available at the moment, but quite a few places (including CWC and Manic Cycles) expect stock by the end of the month.
