Not wide enough. Where's the 47 mm model for bikes like the Kona Dew, the Raleigh Redux, and the Priority 600?

I'll try a set, but I sure do wish that 45NRTH had also released a 650b x 47 mm...

I believe belt line is analogous to chain line. I believe it's the distance from center of the frame to center of the belt.

Belts are less forgiving of misalignment than are chains. You had...

Where I live the roads are not smooth and many are dirt and gravel. The 600 is better for that. The wider tires provide comfort and traction.

I'm also not in the best of shape, and the wider...

Swapping to a higher rise bar once solved the problem for me. If you go that route, consider shortening the stem somewhat at the same time. In my case, the added 10 - 15 mm of rise (I don't remember...

Yes, and I LOVE that low-volume pumps are a thing. Fewer strokes to get the air in, and the range on the gauges is a better match for the pressures I'm actually using.

I love what Jamis has done with that bike. Road plus tires. Clean lines in the frame design. Geometry seems on point. 1x gearing. Hydro brakes. I also find it to be an exciting design.
