Thanks Ray for this and the link; I read the content through again. That means that, if the 59 is the best size for my uses -- need to get my brother to help me measure PBH after all these years -- I could use my leftover ultralight 60 mm 700C Big Ones under fenders on a Clem. One problem solved.

If the bike is optimized for 26 x 2.1 tires, you won't get the real benefit of going to 650b IMHO. If you could only fit skinny 650b tires, I don't think it's worth it. I converted my Schwinn Moab bc it fit 650 x 47 tires, which drastically improved the ride. - Fred, Mount Prospect, IL Dare
