I have both 650b and 29er wheelsets in the garage, neither are wide ‘plus’ size rims though but I at least have the option to experiment before getting some wider rims.
I imagine though that a 2.8” 650b plus tyre must be very close if not the same diameter as a 29er plus wheel?
It is. After years of fucking around on stuff that wasn't mine but I could freely destroy, I'd settle on way wider rims if I was running 3". I'd start at 40mm internal at least. 30mm will pinch that shit.
Build thread, and let the interwebz arguing begin!
Haha thanks but I’m way up in Scotland.
