A few updates
Got some used Hope wheels, and some Teravail tyres off here which I think had only been used with tubes. Tried setting them up having patched a few holes from the inside. I think they need a load more sealant pouring in.
The 650b wheels and tyres I have are comfortable, but I (think I can) feel the width of the tyre contact patch like it’s tough to turn that 1.5 inch diameter patch of rubber on the tarmac. It’s been 2 years since I had 700c wheels. I’d like to get some really nice 650x47 road tyres and compare to some really nice 700x30-32 tyres.
I also changed the bolts on the fork for aesthetics - and I much prefer. The OEM ones made me think of a mug tree.
… And on the seat stays as my thighs were rubbing on the thick boy ones. So that’s solved.
