My feeling is that if you intend to use big/heavier tires, you should go 650b. I had a 700c Hunq with 50mm+ tires and it was difficult to get going and keep going up hills. I know that the 29er platform has benefits in mtb scenarios, but I didn’t see it on the roads or fire roads I was riding it on.The Atlantis is designed for bigger tires, so itd be a shame to not use that capacity.
I have a 650b (musa) Atlantis now with 50mm tires and it’s not fast feeling bike by any means, but it doesn’t feel like I’m riding thru sand for the first 30 feet after a stop either. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
