CAAD4 Posted July 13, 2012 Share So went for a "fitting" for 650B wheelset on my Giant XTC this morning and all looks good, its a little tight, but the back tyre was a 2.4 so with a 2.2 it will be perfect. Nothing crappy on this bike. Nice colour Giant Billy Rae. What Fox Fork is that, a 26er, model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevief Posted July 14, 2012 Share Will 650b work with a giant trance? Forks are 5 inches of travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted July 14, 2012 Share Will 650b work with a giant trance? Forks are 5 inches of travel? No room at the back I'm afraid, my other bike is a Trance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted August 3, 2012 Share Is it just me or are there more and more 29er riders that's starting to talk 650B? If you are one of them, please share. I'm going over to Canada and the States next year and I may or may not come back with some new toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimby Posted August 3, 2012 Share I'd like another longer travel (approx 130mm) trail bike to go with my 29" hardtail so, yes - 650B is enticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Crispy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Made the change already. Loving itFar prefer the steep technical climbing on a 650b. Seem to have to work too hard on the hills on a 29er.29er is definately faster on the flat stuff, but overall I feel better on the 650b flymango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
