I'm running 36h 650b Cliffhangers with 57mm G-One "All-Around". Because the rims are tubeless compatible, changing a tubed tire takes a little more patience — that's not a deal-breaker for me, but may be for some. I've had them for years and have zero complaints. On a side note, working with

Cliffhangers are great. Wider than a lot of other rims, so I think your tire will probably be closer to the marked width. They are also tubeless compatible, which is at least nice to have that option even if you don't run it. I run 700c silver 32h with 29 x 2.2" Terravail tires, not 650b but

For rim brake bikes, I prefer rims with machined sidewalls. Velocity Quills are my fav. On Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 10:55:27 AM UTC-7 wboe...@gmail.com wrote: > Velocity A23 can also be had in 650b. > > On Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 11:36:20 AM UTC-4 alexander...@gmail.com > wrote: > >>

I've got an odd wheelset that's Surly disc brake fixed-gear hubs laced to Velocity Quills. Had them a year or two now, and like them. Highest optimal tire width is 47mm according to Velocity, but I'm running 50mm G-Ones and they've worked well. Probably wouldn't want to go too much bigger but I

Crust's Rim Brake Rims are really working out for me on my Atlantis and at $105 per rim, they're a pretty good deal. They're very similar to the Pacenti Brevets, but with a slightly wider profile and without the eyelets. Slightly lighter than Brevets and Velocity Quills. I wouldn't put them on

I'm running Velocity Blunt SS with a WI rear and Son front and 50mm tires (48mm measured on rim). They are relatively light rims (395g), for what it's worth. I've been riding them on gravel once a week for the last few months and have had no issues. Best of luck with your build. Tom
