pumped up these byways to 2 bars and I was kind of hesitant how they feel (compared to 30-40mm 700c)
- quick but not road tyre quick
- a bit more nervous steering with less wheel flop and lower trail
but when I went to 1,3-1,5 they transformed.
- amazing and predictable grip (for a tyre that rolls great on tarmac)
- almost the same rolling resistance with greatly increased comfort
- a bit more resistance to steering inputs via larger contact patch
- BLISS!

a bit more resistance to steering inputs via larger contact patch.

That's my main advantage of riding 650b, lower pressure with lower trail mean it feel quicker compare to a 700c with a higher trail.
