It was actually Fatty Rumpkins that made me sell my Saluki.
They looked great but they were just lumpy & not made well, IMO.
I had my Saluki a little before the surge in popularity in 650b so I would
like to revisit the issue, especially with some better tires.
But on the flipside, my wife
NIfty Swifties on Synergy rims. Went through those, Michelin Axial Raids (and
I’d STILL be using them if they were still in production!), Michelin (don’t
remember, all black) on Aerohead rims (the tire and rim were not a good
combination), Grand Bois Cypres, Soma Xpress (still have those on
I put 650bs on my wife’s bikes years before I went that way myself. The first I
bought for her were col de vie’s I think. I just got my first 650b bike with
WTB horizons. Solved a lot of the issues I had with over 40mm 700c
wheels/tires. Happy so far

Pari Motos were mine. Great tire, but they don't last long enough.
I ran Fatty Rumpkins on the trails some, and they did well enough.

Started on Hetres on a trek elance 650b conversion. I went for a short
jaunt on the C canal to test how they would do on the dirt road. I ended
up riding 45 miles without realizing I had gone that far. After that, I
haven't went back to narrow or bigger wheels.

I remember in 2012 when I first started 650b riding there weren't that many
choices I could find. Can;t imagine back in 2006!!! I think it was mostly
Fattys, Soma New-something, Schwalbe green guards, Swiftys. Hard to find
tubes back then too for me. All I could find were Conti Tours. At least
