For 650b, you'll need Tektro 559's, and likely better brake levers. Limit there is likely 42's. Again, no fenders.
Either way you'll get into HG freehubs, which is good. And brake pad holders that can accept upscale pads, also good.
I like the sweet spot of 700 X 28, maybe Conti GP's. Match the 539's with some Tektro levers. Good ride, durable, flat resistant, fast...and you can run fenders with them.
Thanks!
Does it stand to reason I could fit fenders with 650B x thirty something? I'd like to make the bike a little more versatile off pavement if I can.
Any recommendations for rims I should consider?
