I have a Soma Buena Vista that can run 700c or 650b with the 559s. With 700c braking is excellent with the pad is at the top of the brake slot. On the 650b braking is fair and the pad is at the very bottom of the slot.. Good enough to West Michigan, but would not even in the hilly parts of Indiana. I have settled on 700c for this bike just because I like the braking and it fits 38s. Tom Palmer Twin Lake, MI
