  • What does the functional crew think about a Kaffenback 2 650b conversion to use as townie? Sensible or stupid?

  • Nice idea.

    Probs going to want to run quite big tyres to make it worth going 650b. Don't the frames fit 35mm + guards as standard?

    Don't use flat/fat pedals.

  • As @miro_o said, going 650b is only worthwhile if you want to run much bigger tyres.

    I can't remember whether the chainstay have dimple to allow more clearance for the 700c tyres, however if it does, it quite likely that with the 650b wheel and tyres, it will be fairly tight as it will likely not to be near the dimpled chainstay.
