  • Tyres for 650b are already gaining traction

    Heh.

    I have a question regarding 650b wheels/brakes: I have a 26 inch MTB frame with cantilever bosses. Can I somehow put 650b wheels in the frame and install brakes that will fit? The frame has enough room for 700c wheels, so I'm only worried about the brake situation.

    Also, thanks @Lolo and @edscoble for answering my previous question.

  • It can be made possible with @lae suggestion, however, the other thing you will need to look out for is the clearance on the rear especially, as the chain/seat stay get narrower the nearer it get to the seat tube, so with whatever tyres the frame can originally take, it need to be slightly smaller (says, 1.95 is the max with 26", meaning a 1.75 might have enough room with 650b).
