All The Six Fifty Bees Thread! (650b, 27.5 etc.).

I have a set of black 650b tubeless Superstar Comp 32h wheels with brand new steel 11sp shimano free hub + 2.1 Vittoria Peyote tyres VGC and a pair of used WTB Horizons. 150gbp. Wheel are tru and smooth.

.

Before I buy hubs and stuff, does anyone have a QR/QR 11spd tubeless disc wheelset for sells?

Presumably you saw the post by @Hulsroy two above yours?

Not trying to be a dick

Just did that conversion myself with WTB Horizons. They fit but it's quite tight in the back. I can take a picture of it later at home.

ta

which 38mm tyre are you using?

Compass Loup Loup Extra Light.

One bad photo, but so far conti race kings seem to be working well. Didn’t realise that conti did tubeless compatible tyres..

Apologies for mudguards - they’re setup for my grail wheelset

What kind of mudguards are they?

SKS Blumels, I believe

What is the wheelset of choice for 650b? Interested for a new build. Cheers

I'm after some second hand WTB Resolutes, Surly Knards, or anything slightly knobbly in the 42 region. Please and thank you.

Best 38mm/1.5" 650b tubeless road tyre? Anything to look at other than Schwalbe G-ONE ALLROUND Evolution TL-Easy? Not keen on Compass.

Gravelkings. Nowt to compare them to, but they seem ok.

I was going to get Gravel Kings 1.5, seems the non-Compass choice.

650b 38-40mm road tyre?

Not tubeless compatible
Sorry, failed to fully detail my wish list.

Schwalbe G-ONE ALLROUND Evolution TL-Easy, apparently. Do let me know if you find anything better though.

I have the g one speed
Was just wondering if there was a better slick tyre for only road use.

Randomly found this dudes blog,

Which led me on to some tyres, which it seems he had made for his (ex) shop/frame building outfit.
