Well just my two cents with the center pull saluki but I can run big 26" tires in the rough stuff by moving the brake pads diam compes down to the end of the slot, looks a bit funny since I have a 58cm but since the tires are so huge it compensates. I can also run 700c 28s too but it takes a quick brake change to the mid reach grand compe brakes but it only takes about 25 minutes. Since the 650b Hilsen and Saluki are basically the same I would say the 650 Hilsen is a versatile beast.
