FWIW, I have two sets of 650b Synergy's in service and EVERY tire I've mounted on them has fit very loosely. I have to take great care to seat the beads evenly, and some tires (CdlV) always want to sit a bit off center. IMO the Synergies run a bit on the small side. I never need tools to mount or dismount tires from them. No blow-offs yet, but I wouldn't run very high pressures on any of them.
