1. Naturally you'll get more clearance with a 650b tyre if you'd had the same width 700c tyre
2. Production will be 44 HT, not integrated
3. It's an awesome OTP carbon fork that can take racks and/or bottle cages, what's not to like?

1. Well wat I ment to say, you can't fit bigger tyres if you opt for 650b..
2. You're right, my bad!
3. The look of it.. A Niner RDO gravel or Sequoia fork is so much better looking.
  Still.. looks like an expensive Sequoia, same tubing, function, weight.. But a Sequoia comes with stem, bars, seatpost and headset for €300 less..

650b is significantly lighter also stronger, you do actually get more clearance with 650b than 700c.

While the fork is not customs, the frame is (I think) and may have been designed with 650b in mind, short wheelbase is acheivable too, as 650b x 42mm is similar to 700c x 23mm in term of diameter.
