At the moment, I can run a 32mm tyres on it, which mean in theory a 38mm 650b tyres can fit, but I'm hoping my old Grand Bois Hetres will fit in (ditto on front).
The majority of the road I want to ride in are in poor condition as if there was a war on, all the manufacturer kept making the bike as comfortable as possible to make it slightly more bearable instead of just put bigger tyres in the first place.
Only problem - MTB 650b thru-axles wheelset are usually 10 speed rather than 11, so gonna have to build a Hope thru axles wheelset and replace the freehub body for a 11 speed one.
WTB with their Road Plus ideas is on the right path, by converting 700c bicycles into 650b;
