Giant Toughroad 650b Setup

Running Maxxis Ikon 2.2s Skinwall tires.

Currently have them on a 21mm Internal rim with tubes. Once I'm able to get my tubeless wheel rebuilt I plan on having those on here.

Paired with the 52cm PNW drop bars and shorter stem, I wouldn't call it a drop bar MTB, but it does feel nicer and handles a lot better than the stock iteration of this bike, at least for my type of riding.

Looks good. I’ve been considering a 650b set of wheels for my Revolt.

I have 650b on my Revolt 2 as well. Will fit up to a 50mm tire in my experience so not as much as the Toughroad. The front could go wider to say a 54mm tire
