I admit, I don't understand the 650b craze at all. It started as a way to put fat tires on a 700c road frame, sustained by the availability of ONE high-quality tire. Now suddenly all of our 26" mountain bike wheels are obsolete. Next will come a new size: 650E that allows us to put narrow tires on frames meant for 650b.
