I am running 650b x 2.3" on my Secan 2.5 with very comfortable clearance.

Which tyres? And how is the handling?

They are Schwalbe G One Allround in 2.25 but size up wider on my rims.
Handling is great. On road and off road. I did ride quite some single track stuff on it. On a sporty drop bar bike like this I wouldn’t want 700c x 50mm(+). Feels wrong to me. I got my hart tail for that. I don’t know if there is scientific evidence for that but the 650b wheels feel more agile to me. I used to have a second wheel set to be able to swap to 700c but in the end I didn’t really do that. No need.

Here’s clearance with 700x50 Gravelking SK’s. I have the 2.1 still in the box untested as I can see from how tight these are to the seat tube that the 2.1 won’t fit, so won’t try.

50mm is perfect though, and why I chose this frame.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
