[RBW] Re: Black 650b Synergy rims
In fact, we have a similar setup on our Velo Orange Polyvalent Scorcher bike: http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/gallery/rb-gallery-1/ I've ridden it a decent amount on roads, gravel, and singletrack. The Fatty Rumpkins are great, and 36-holed Synergy 650B wheelset is perfect for this kind of all-rounding. Definitely a thumbs-up!

Ron Thanks for the heads up. I had done all the measurements on my Davidson, and was planning on doing a 650B conversion. When you posted this, I pulled the trigger. I got the rims and spokes from Rich on Friday. Laced the wheels on Saturday, and finished the conversion this afternoon.

[RBW] Re: Black 650b Synergy rims
I rode it around the neighborhood a bit. I live on a steep slope so I could get a decent feel for it. My Davidson feels very strange simply because it is a low standover height road bike. Since I've just lowered the standover by another 8mm or so makes it feel tiny. Despite that, the MaxyFasty tires look just like Jack Browns when I'm in the saddle and they seem to corner and soak up the bumps just as lusciously as Jack Browns, as they should. I think the plan will be to do the hilly 35 mile commute to work on Tuesday or Thursday. The bike is 22.5 lbs as photographed. Not bad for a lugged steel bike with the same rims as my Bombadil and, as they say nothing light on it On May 23, 4:37 pm, Bruce fullylug...@yahoo.com wrote: Let us know how you like the ride with the new set up From: William tapebu...@gmail.com To: RBW Owners Bunch rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, May 23, 2010 6:06:01 PM Subject: [RBW] Re: Black 650b Synergy rims Ron Thanks for the heads up.
