Hate to pile on, but you are riding dogs for tires. Switch to one of the
quality 650Bs and get back to us.

Funny how for a while, the posts all seemed to lament the passing of Ram/Rom
and lately we hear from the Ram/Rom “haters”. Similarly now 650B size. The
selling points for me on 650B were 2 fold. First, the larger volume of air in
the tire gives a plusher ride, especially over coarse surfaces.
Don't get me wrong, beautiful bike. But I think it might be my tire
selection.
The first few were lumpy sluggish, the other was a little too balloon-ish
for my taste.
So why does Riv even sell these tires if they stink!?
Anyways, I have a pair of Niftys on order and hopefully they'll change
Please remember there is a lot more going on with a bike than just the
wheel size. For example smaller wheeled bikes tend to have less bottom
bracket drop. Comparing the 650b and 700c hillsens, the drop differs by
13mm. The difference in bsd between the two wheel sizes is 38mm, so the
radius
The tires don't stink, though they may not be the sort of tires you like.
Apparently some folks like uber stout bomb proof tires, and some others
prefer the lightest supplest tires they can find. Unless I missed it you
have not said what tires you use on your Atlantis.
I have a bike with 650b
I run Marathon Racers, 26x1.6 on the tandem and really like them. But I
run Pari Motos on both the Saluki my '84 Trek and absolutely love the
ride.

Hetres are great tires. My wife runs the Soma B-Lines on her Betty and is
really happy with those. A little less $.

It's a gross generalization, but there are lousy tires in every wheelsize.
