Muirwoods RC comes with Nexus internal hub. I'm not sure if i would choose this hub for riding in a city like Toronto but Rohloff internal hub, i would if cost is not prohibitive. Here's a good explanation of pros and cons of both systems

I never had 650B tires. I used to ride 26" MTB tires when i lived in Toronto in the nineties but i assume a 29" tire will roll better over small potholes.
