It says it has clearance for 45c in 700c and 50c (or 2 inches) in 650b.
I have 2 questions about this:
1. Would you prefer the same clearance or clearance for 2.4" tires in 650b?
2. Would you prefer disc-only with the option of using large caliper brakes or a model with V-brakes bosses that you can remove and replace with a plug and disc brake adapters at the same time?
1- no I would not want this in 2.4" 650b. Its an all road bike frame, it isnt a mountain bike frame. 700x45 is wide enough for me to do anything I want on a drop bar bike.
2- I dont understand this. If its disc only, then there cant be an option to use caliper brakes.
