That anodizing is killer! What do you like about 650b vs 700 wheelsets? I suppose it comes down to terrain but do you find yourself preferring one over the other?

I’ve never had carbon wheels before, so the difference in climbing and speed in general on the 700c is pretty huge. However, the 650b were amazing for a highly technical gravel race like Hilly Billy. I’ve done some civilized gravel centuries on the 700c on Schwalbe Pro-One 28mm (actually measure 30mm) and it wasn’t the *most* comfortable so I think I’m going to try some G-One 35mm tires on the 700c for D2R2 this year - see how it behaves on those descents. (Descending on the 650s is pretty fantastic...) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Switching between wheelset (650 vs 700) is without any problem? No adjustment on the bike? Thx.

Both wheelsets use the same hub (CK R45 centerlock), same rotor (SRAM Centerline X) and same cassette (1070 11-32) - switch over with zero issues. I initially started swapping the chain when i swapped the wheels but honestly ran out of patience for it and will probably just end up replacing the chain more often.

Wow, never seen anything like this from them...they continue to blow minds, and kudos for your inspiration on this.
You're in Philly too, what part? Maybe I'll see it in the flesh one of these days. |

What width 650b?
Did they build it with their new driveside yoke, or with a conventional chainstay? Quote:

Chainstays are conventional - i think for this amount of clearance on 650b, they don't have to worry about introducing a yolk to keep the chainstays short enough. I think there's clearance for 700x40 but haven't tested that - widest I'd go would probably be 35 before throwing the 650b on. |
