  • Generally just like the look of a larger wheel. But tbh you're right after looking into other options I think I'm either going to go with a 26" wheel or 27.5 650b wheel and run some chunky tyres on there. I didn't even know the latter existed till doing a bit of research yesterday. But it seems 650b's are hard to come by with a 130mm rear axle and rim brake. A lot of what i've seen of 650's are disk brake only with a 142mm rear axle.

  • If you decide to go with 700C/650B, you’ll have to get creative with the brakes as the studs on your frame are positioned for 26” rims.

  • There's drillings for caliper brakes on here, which would be more set up for 700's. I know you can get adapters to raise the position of v brakes to fit 700/650 and if I'm not mistaken, caliper brakes come in varying lengths and adjustable pad heights?
