• Headtube slightly steeper with fork at 45mm rake contributed to a slightly lighter handling, helped with the load.

  • Ahh that explains a lot then, definitely felt nice even with the massive load. Assuming because the 650b has the same circumference as a smaller 709c tyre that doesn't affect trail at all? Only helps to contribute to the more comfortable ride and better feel.
