As some of you may remember, I started a thread ISO a used Rivendell. Well, after some time, and some kind offers (thank you all) from people here and at the Bleriot Owner's Group, I got a used Bleriot. Being new to Rivs and 650b wheels, I have a couple wheel questions. I hope you all can clue me in to the scene. I have Deore hubs with Velocity Rims. Width measures about 3/4 inch. "Velocity Twin Hollow 32 Hole" printed on the label. 1. The Velocity rims on the bike have the heads of the spokes anchored on the inside of the rims and can contact the tube of the tire. Not recessed, like on 700c rims. Is there any special rim tape I should use for this? I have never seen this as my 700c bike rims have the recessed spokes. So I was wondering. 2. Does anyone here use tire liners with their 650b tires? I am used to using small 700c tires that need protection, and I don't know how the heavier 650b tires fare in reference to punctures. Let me know what you all do. 3. Will any 32-41mm 650b tires fit those rims of mine? I don't know how many variations of 650b rims are out there and what the standard width is. The label does not indicate which width tires the rim will take, though Rumpkins are on it now. But I'd like to throw on some Niftys, which are 32mm. Thanks for any info.
