• I just placed an order for my 650b wheelset finally :) Now it's just a matter of choosing the tyres, I missed the sale on Planet X sadly, but still I can get for almost the same price:
    a) WTB Horizons (seems my favourite right now)
    b) Maxxis Re-Fuse (more bombproof)
    c) Clement Strada USH 42c (smaller diameter, lighter, therefore probably better for road riding, 700c wheelset will be for CX riding etc)
    d) Panaracer Gravelking (slick, but I read quite many reports that they puncture easily, so would rather pass on them)

    What is your recommendation?

  • I ride the Clements on and off road and so far theyve proven to be pretty tough. They do hum a bit but its not loud..

  • How are wide 650b tyres behaving when road climbing out of the saddle? I have heard some reports that there might be some unpleasant floaty feel at low pressures in such conditions.
