Has anyone tried putting 650b wheels on their Vagabond?
I've progressed to larger tyres (2.2") and am loving the extra cush, but it's raised the bike up to the point that I have trouble getting a foot down in emergencies.
Going to 650b X 2.2" would bring the wheel back to the same diameter as my old 700x40c set up.
Are there any disadvantages I've not thought of?
