Has anyone 650B'd a Sam Hill? If so, how fat a tire can it fit? And, next, does Compass (or anyone else) make a tire in that size and in an "extra light" casing?
More precisely: with 584s, how fat a tire can you get into a SH without fenders, and #2, how fat with fenders? 50 mm, if the tire is supple, is (IME) a sort of sweet turning point for tire width, at least for the sandy soils I ride in, and 584 is close enough to 622 that I expect I'd find much of the same improvement over 559 wheels. (I rode the '03 with 29 mm Elk Passes on our acequia roads yesterday, warm weather drying the soil and breaking it up into sand, and, while I got through, it wasn't exactly fun.) I ask because a 56 SH with 50 or 60 mm tires would be an wonderful "road bike for dirt." I owned a stt 56 SH, and though I didn't like it for road riding (it felt doggy, even with Green Jack Browns) I would love one for dirt if it could accept fatter tires. And I ask because at the 6-month point, I've still not gotten my custom Matthews "road bike for dirt" and I want to prepare for alternatives.
