Good to know! I'm partly just slightly embarrassed by how bling the bike looks, lol. I'm considering getting some slightly more rough and ready 700c wheels with a dynamo for touring and then putting some nice big grippy tyres on the 650b wheels for offroad duty. What are you planning your two sets of tyres to be?

First up.
I have a bit of a wheel problem.
The Ribble Carbon 650b are keeping the WTB light and supple horizons.
The Mavic AllRoad SL (really nice wheels) are keeping the teravail 650x47b Washburns
The New Prime carbons are getting Teravail 27.5 x 2.1 Sparewoods
The DT Swiss have 700x40c TerraSpeed
Then there are 2 pairs of road wheels with 28/30 tyres.
Oh and there are a pair of…
I said I had issues.

I’ve just ordered some prime orra carbon 650b wheels and they are going to get abused and overloaded. The Ribble ones I have on at the moment have been spot on. I’m only getting more to stop having to change tyres on rims. Carbon rims seem to be a strong as all get out to me. Go for it.
