The supply chain for 650B rims in 40º is thin.

I think there are fewer 650B tires in the 35~40mm wide range available than there are in 26 x 1 3/8. (I could be wrong.)

Unsure new wheels in 650B is the answer. In the 80s, 90s and 00s there was actually a 'Save the 650B' society. Time and past for 'Save the 26 x 1 3/8 - 650A - EA3'?

Contact SUNRinglé about CR18-590 availability:

Fun fact: 26 x 1 3/8 is a common wheelchair tire size.
