You convinced me to buy the Pickenflick, now I have a question regarding the wheel size. As I am planning to make it my do-it-all bike for both road and offroad, I intend to get two wheelsets - a road 700c one (road tyres, maybe some 28c GravelKings etc) and an offroad one to easily swap them depending on my plans. Buying the bike I could order a few more bits for the future wheels from PX considering how bargain some of the parts are there.
I read that Pickenflick has 2.0' clearance on 27.5 wheels, so I wonder whether the offroad wheelset should be 650b so I can run e.g. Maxxis Crossmark 1.95 or something similar or should I just stick with a second 700c and grab some 40-42c tyres? As a sidenote, forests where I ride sometimes tend to get quite muddy, especially at time when foresters cut trees with all their heavy machinery, so the typical gravel file-tread tyres are not necessarily a good option for me.
