daily reminder that 27.5"x2.00" (650Bx50cm) is the ideal wheel setup for bikes
>>
>>2083705
How so
>>
>>2083707
>same rolling surface as any 700C with less than 40mm width tire
>smaller rim is stiffer
>nice cushiony tire that easily absorbs road bumps
>fits anyone with any height
>generally looks better than full 2.25" tires
>>
>>2083708
I just wish tire companies would provide a wider variety of tires in 650b like what they do for 700c.
>>
>>2083708
Sweet. I was actually in the process of building a street missile using an earl 00s easton light weight tubing mtb converted to 650b.

Marathon Supremes if you need puncture protection, Hurricanes if you don't, 'canes with TPU tubes roll like 20 year old roadies.
>>2083728
They look silly, the wheels are bigger than the frame. Thin 700s or fat 27.5s have the perfect wheel to frame ratio, 26s are a bit too small, 29s are a bit too big.

>just starting to get into bikes again
>get a cheap 26er because everyone says its the standard
>the exact zeptosecond I start riding again is also when a bunch of assholes start telling me my bike is obsolete and that 27.5 and 32in are the new standards now
>>
>>2083756
No one ever said 26 is the standard. It's just a fun retro size

Manley epiphany.

How do they compare to Almotion?
>>
>>2083760
while OP is conceptually ideal, specific tire options (like premium touring or commuting treads in true 650Bx50 dimensions) can occasionally have thinner local shop availability compared to ubiquitous mass-market 700c or legacy 26-inch sizes.

>here's some well-known fact nobody asked for
does this make you feel valued?
>>
>>2083756
The timeline between you being told "26 is the standard" and "27.5/32in is the new standard" must of been like 15 years.

Anyways, 29/700c is the standard no bars held. 26 is on a slow drip, 27.5 is dying, 32 is maybe going to replace 29 in like 30 years but probably actually not.

cheap big box BSOs are always 26

cheap big box BSOs in Large Size are always 29

"road bikes" are always some ridiculous "700" but some ridiculous slightly out of spec mixmaxer size instead of being actually 700c

What the fuck are you on about? You do realize 700c and 29 are the same
>>
>>2083818
Hecs convinced that big box stores use non-standard rim sizes for their bikes because he bought the wrong tire size one time and couldn't fit it onto his rim or into his frame, I can't remember which.

High estrogen tallfags need whole industries to retool for planned obsolescence, just to compete with objectively superior individuals.
>But more materialism is more better Service to Self!
Go put on those Clown shoes again, you proud clown.
The clown bike isn't the clown. The clown shoes aren't the clown. You are the clown, you idolatrous, servile, nephilitc, anti-white racist cannibal.
--Do not tolerate this hatred without cause, projecting a divide and conquer theory of mind against their own brothers. They shove it in your face to make meaning for bluffing psychopathy.

You mean man sized, for all of natural history until Rothschilds took control of dairy.
>If you're fattened yearling cow sized you're ready to be harvested.
MAN is little. Cannibal psychopathic giants are proud of being Satan's sons and gigantic sow like daughters.
What are you doing playing with children's toys like bikes? How does riding a bigger bike help you bluff being a child raping murderous paychopath among men disarmed by The State?
Stature Idolatry is for feminized retards.
Tallfags feel like CLOWNS engaging with anything built for Man and then project this insecurity as if they have been injured. Service To Self Materialism is an ideological sin, that they have to tell you they are tall to preface performing this hatred without cause against their own brothers. Insanity.
Lanklets seem to think they have been adopted by wholly different tribe, and that tribe is The Synagog of Satan which tallfags argue must be preferenced above Man just because they are larger.
Manlet Indios genocided cannibal giants worldwide, but the snide tallfags are still begging for acceptance and chittering about how they've won.
As cycling has shown, all it takes is for entire industies to pivot to cater to them, which they 'deserve' for being so much larger than children.
This is nigger logic for protecting ritual abuse.

You just go right on blaspheming because you feel you earned your privileges by 'becoming' a superior idol, midwit.

counterpoint: 26" tires are on sale
>>
>>2084303
>a literal no-name tire
anon please
the problem with 26-inchers is that the tire industry has abandoned them, only shitters like this that won't roll, won't grip and won't last are left
no matter the quality of your bike, tires will make it fly, a shitbike on nice tires is a perfect combo

in the us maybe
