Same here, just heard some SS'ers were running 2.4's you know for extra cushion and would love to know where they sourced them.

2.4 in Racing Ralph. Don't think they make them that big. Maybe the Hans Dampf, but even then.

Okay so I posted this before but damnfangle man I'm tired of people referring to 650B as 27.5" or halfway between 26 and 29.

 

It aint!

 

Here's the low down:

26 diam = 559mm

650b diam = 584mm

29 diam = 622mm

 

So 650B is only 12.5mm bigger than 26" in radius. Not a lot.

29" is 31.5mm bigger. Also not a huge amount but nearly 3 times the amount of 650B.

 

Yes I know it's not a bit difference but everybody seems to be jumping onto the 26 for small, 650B for medium and 29 for large bikes rule and it simply aint true.

 

In my opinion 650A would have been a better "standard" to settle on.

 

OK, so 650B is more like 27" and 29ers are actually 28.5"

Looks like 650 b is for those who like to take baby steps .

If we refer to 650b, then we know that we are talking 27.5inch wheels. It can be equated to clipless pedals. We all refer to our pedals being clipless, but they actually have clips on them. Nobody complains because we know what we are talking about

 

To quote an old cliche.........."whats in a name"

Yeah, but the thing is, they're NOT 27.5"

 

A clipless pedal IS clipless, because it doesn't have those god-awful toe-clips & straps that you used to "clip" yourself into (the road versions had a v-shaped notch that the pedal slotted into)

 

so - it is best to call it 650b. The standard is not a standard is not 27.5"

Borrowing a bike with 2.35 Hans Dampfs on them. Damn, those tyres are high volume! They're beeeg. Bigger than my 2.5 minions.

[DJ84]

So im running 2.4 Mountain Kings on my 26"steed.

So i have effectively got the same size rotation as a 650B?
