  • Asked in the 650b thread but no reply, so I'll try here. Looking at new wheels later this year, considering 650b, so if my max current size is 700x32 (on a Genesis Equilibrium disc) what would I get away with on the smaller wheel size?

  • You can probably get away with 38mm definitely (if the chainstay/seatstay/fork is straight, sparyed out, I can't remember),

    Even in 38mm it's already lighter than a similar 700c wheels with 28mm tyres, I reckon 42mm within the realm of possibility.

    The slightly lowered BB isn't an issues unless you ride with clip and strap.
