there is a great range of 650b tyres now, so I think it makes most sense in this application.
I've long been an advocate of building bikes from the tyres up, so if 584 is where the tyre market has gone then that's what you have to use, for small people. I just hope tyre manufacturers keep serving those of us tall enough to exploit the benefits of 622 🙂

Considering a noticeable slice of teh forum think a portmanteau of a redundant French and an extant ISO tyre sizing system is coherent and meaningful (WTF is "28c"?), then I'm confident that a "tyres first" rebranding of the bike market could win the day!

I'm sure you could make some real marketing guff with that, complete with tedious hashtags....

Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of the whole "let's make something new up to sell to these stupid arseholes" approach to standards. However, the theory is fine, but there is a great range of 650b tyres now, so I think it makes most sense in this application.
