OK, why "Rando"?
I just rode a century on a fixed gear 700x25, not interested in 1,200KM but how would 650B on touring weigh wheelsets have made that ride faster?
Heavy 650B wheelsets will keep them a non-starter for any performance riders when modern tech/could/should be applied.
MTB didn't hesitate.
