I recently picked up another 650b wheelset to turn it into a commuter, but I really disliked the 650b in comparison to the 26". Taller, larger wheels made it painfully dull handling on the road, which is funny, because it was a lot of fun on the umarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636273350631457401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882098456908653124.post-88369083024247045322010-01-27T12:03:42.626-05:002010-01-27T12:03:42.626-05:00I look forward to following this project as it pro...I look forward to following this project as it progresses.MMcGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802335947993128088noreply@blogger.com
