So if it was released in 2006, then it must have been conceptualized at least one or two years prior. So wacky 650b idea evolved around 2004 or 2005? It makes sense they had to also release some tires as well. I didn't ride a bike as an adult until 2009, so what 650b tires existed back then? On

I would say releasing a production 650b bike 11 years ago was pretty adventurous. I have a 2009 Bleriot and as I think about it, If I knew it existed, I would have been less likely to buy it when it was being sold. I dont think there were even too many 650b tires available then. Matt Cook in CT

Patrick, They work fine for me. I don't find much of a difference between aero and non aero levers especially if the brakes are set up right. I was able to lock up the wheels from the drops on my test ride. I highly recommend at least trying it on your Matthews. On Fri, Mar 15, 2019, 3:36 PM

Darin, I am indeed having some issues with tire seating. I have heard many people say using two rim strips helps. I will probably try that. The king cages just make sense in that order! On Fri, Mar 15, 2019, 11:12 AM DarinM wrote: > Nice! I rebuilt my Bleriot this winter too, my second Riv.
