All The Six Fifty Bees Thread! (650b, 27.5 etc.).

Had a rep come into the shop yesterday with a set of Maxxis Re-fuse 27.5 - 2.0, look good for someone wanting a tubeless ready 27.5 tyre. Nice tread pattern as well, good for a bit of everything. Come in 700c 32mm and 40mm too.

Erm, hopefully I won't get chucked off the thread for daring to mention, but do you know if they're going to be doing a 700c version at that width?

They are only doing a 32mm and 40mm in the 700c version.

Good bargain: http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/marin-pine-mountain-1-frame-headset-and-stem-22-10814-p.asp

Anyone able to recommend a disc specific (non machined wall) aero-ish rim that is silver/polished?

Halo Vapour?

Good shout, decent rims too.

Thanks, saw these a few pages back on Ed's Saracen, look great. Price/weight isn't too bad either, @edscoble can you confirm if the decals come off?

Think they're not sticker, will have a butcher.

Just seen this.

Black, Polished Silver, Blue or Red anodised colours with laser graphics or our trademark White powder coated with black stickers.

Liking the look of the blunts, hopefully can get BLB to order them in too. Ta!

Looked into it the other day. Stooopidly expensive.

Velocity Blunt SS in polished version would cost £96.00 per rim and shipping from US would cost £55.00 (that include all duties and taxes).

Pollish out the lazer etching?

More sensible here:

@Silly_Savage true, would prefer to avoid but will see what other options are out there.

@drøn cheers

cheapest possible 650b disc rims? I found this: https://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;product=81093;menu=1000,2,302,303;pgc%5B16654%5D=16656;orderby=2

Anything cheaper out there?

Thank you but for a slightly wider rim, DT seems like a better deal ..

I need to source a 650b wheelset, either OTP or built as cheap as possible that is 15x100 front and 135x10 rear.

This looks pretty cool. I don't know anything about belt drives though - any objections?

anyone tried fitting some phat 650 wheels in a kaffenback? I've got 700x32 with mudguards atm but there's not a whole lot of room

Still interested in this, can someone with a Kaffenback please figure this out

Is the kaffenback the same as a pompetamine but without discs? So same clearances etc?
If it is then have a look on cupcakes pompetamine thread, someone that says they've fitted 42 Hetres on a pompetamine.

Nah it's a wholly different frame.. @bankiren could you maybe post a pic of the chainstay clearance on yours?

I'm pretty sure he runs his with 700c though..

Give me a shout if you find some. So far if I find wide, I can't find the right fit, right fit...not wide enough. Might just make some.
