Please don't ask me to defend heavier wheels as beneficial?
And i'm not a proponent of 650b either, at least for me.
I think the main draw for 90% of 650b riders is the cloud like ride on superfat road tires at low inflation. Altho they state advantages of 'low trail' handling. Again, it may be more important for smaller framed bikes.
650b is about 15 years out for me (if things go according to my plan), when I turn 80.
