In between working on my sweeties 650b conversion I cleaned up my Trek 660 and rode it this morning.

A huge difference from the tandem and my cruzerized MB-6. I can't say it's twitchy, but it sure changes direction telepathically. Will have to see if I can still manage drops.

Gatorskins 700c x 28 seem pretty harsh these days. The bike and I are 200 pounds. Tires inflated to 75/85 psi. BITD I would put at least 100 psi.

Tires measure 27 today on Matrix aero rims. I slipped a 6mm Allen key around the tires, top of the fork & brake bridge will be the tight spots I believe. Brakes will need to change.

I am looking to try 32's if anyone thinks they will fit. 650b x 38's will clear but for now I want to keep this bike 700c.

Your thoughts and opinions please. Any discussion of changes to the way the bike handles much appreciated, especially 650b.

Probably too cheap for Compass tires.
