  • Please help me out.
    I was looking at the surly web page straggler section QA and found the following statement

    The 52cm Straggler comes with the 650b wheels only, the 700c wheel option comes on the 54cm-62cm frame sizes.

    Can someone please confirm that the 650b wheel diamater models will NOT accomodate a 700c wheel. The opposite is also supposed to be true ??

    Thanx

  • Is this not just referring to what wheels are supplied with the builds? My 52cm straggler fits 700c wheels with plenty of clearance.

  • Alex D,
    The QA section is a bit foggy if this refers to the complete builds or frame+separate wheels.
    How tall are you+inseam lenght?
    I'm 175 cm with inseam 81 cm and currently riding a steamroller 53 (TT=550 mm) and Kona Honky Tonk 54 (TT =550 mm). The 54 700c has a 565 mm TT, its too big, the 54 650b is the same.
    So naturaly the 52 is the obvious choice, but this wheel size compatibility is puzzling me.
    Thanx
