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

every time I see that at £30 I 'start' a 650b rim brake project in my head then realise that there is not future to rim brake 650b rims and retract .. otherwise it'd be a copy of ocean air rambler without the price tag of $2k.

Plus I think they are that old version you mentioned.

A visionary build won't get you featured on prolly (unless you are rob english)...

amen

buy and stop me

I was torn between that response and "but da9000.jpg"

Oh yeah. Forgot about the points for "U S A, U S A" and contrasting anodised stuff.

I also bought this and this to go with it

Are you tubeless?

yes bae

Does The Dave has this in his shopshop? Or do I buy online?

tubeless stuff? Yes he has, he hooked me up

The rear derailleur isn't fancy, but I like the bike as a whole.

@spotter looking really good. Tested them out yet? Mine have arrived for the Wolverine.

Finished mudguards yesterday but haven't had a chance to ride it/ take proper photos yet. Tomorrow hoepfully

Spammy spam spam: got a pair of WTB Horizon, been set up tubeless, 4 months old but less than 300 miles on them - £50 posted in the UK (as soon as I finish cleaning out the last of the stans goo)

That's nie. Who built it?

Why you getting rid?

Minimising the amount of stuff left at my parents for the next 2 years/I'll probably be riding a 29er unless I fuck about with posting stuff.

By the time I'm back I'm hoping there's a new tyre that hits the sweetspot somewhere between WTB's tubelessness + durability and Compass' grip + suppleness.

What pressure are people running their horizons at when tubeless?

At a guess, 25-30 at the front, 30-35psi at the back. 30mm rims, about 80kg overall weight.

ok i'm running about 35 front and back. very odd sensation trying to corner on them

Possibly the lower BB after converting? I gave up trying to find the right pressure and just started braking sooner and being a bit more careful round bends.

How wide are your rims?

25mm internal they're WTB ST i25

Hey scooter
I run mine at 40psi,but have had them don to 25psi off road. Inner tubes tho
