Oh yeah, that's right----I did notice you posted a photo of your Raleigh Pro Track. It was red-ish/burgundy maybe?

650b will definitely smooth it out, and make it more practical/enjoyable. I'd...

Baby got new wheels. I think I posted this over on the "Whatcha Wrenching?" thread, but since 650b is so integral to what the bike is today, thought I'd update here as well.

I started de-tubifying...

Thanks! It's a 34t, lower than I'd want on something like this that wouldn't see a lot of trail/gravel. But that's what I had handy. I wouldn't go a whole lot bigger, probably 38t.

I've been easing off my 650b conversions after scoring a proper 650b Boulder All Road. Had this Waterford RS-22 setup w/650b last year, for a bit, but the bb wound up a bit too low for comfort. The...

Thanks, glad you like 'em. We did manage to hit the trail by 3pm, did 3-4mi on paved path and about 10mi on dirt/gravel. I rode the Marinoni, it handled both pavement and dirt nicely. The dirt trail...
