I have a frame that I like very much, but being a liitle older (me and the bike) I'd like to put slightly wider tyres on t, along with guards. Sadly it as built around 25mm tyres - it can just about fit 28mm tyres but the guards would be tight.
So I had the entirely non-origianl idea of getting 650b wheels for it. This will allow me to fit 35/40mm tyres. I have some bakes that I think will work already. Being an older bike it doesn't have any disc mounts thogh - it's strictly rim brakes.
Sadly all the 650b wheels I can find are either disc only or listed as for e bikes or mountain bikes - the latter two sound like they might be seriously heavy and therefore no fun at all.
Can anyone recommend any 'touring' spec 650b rim brake wheels (i.e. not some single digit spoke-count racing thing, but equally not built to be thudded up and down mountains or kerbs with a motorised hub) please?
