Got some 650b wheels for this. Managed to sort (I think) a stuck freehub, which I think I now just need to replace a rubber o-ring on, but while I wait for tyres to turn up I thought I’d torture myself with clearance worry.
I’ve got some 47mm WTB senderos hopefully on the way. I’ve just popped the rear 650b wheel in and measured the side to side clearance and it’s not massive - there’s about 52mm gap for the tyre to sit in, which isn’t loads of mm either side. Plenty of room for the tyre height, it’s just these frames weren’t really designed with chunky 650b In mind I guess.
