I'm hearing the new optimal wheel size is 657C
I wear crocs for the style, not the comfort.

I have been running 26.50 for a number of months now, including ft Collins, Breck, Fruita, Moab, Teton pass, big holes, twin falls, Boise, bend, and a few other places. Running 2.5 rear, with a few different modified Nevegal fronts.
Basically I am waiting to see what 'happens' with the geometries this summer, likely running a bastard reign or something until then.
Is that good enough?

thread title should say 'high roller II' for maximum relevancy and counter-meh.
stuck, a 2.4 Purgatory 650b would be bigger than 27 OD. it's not particularly relevant to ask 'how big would a 2.4 in general be on a xxx rim?' since sidewall height varies so much between tires. ETRO is 1 inch bigger than 26er rims. So for a given tire design and nominal width, the OD increases by 1 inch unless the mfger has changed the design for the 650b version.
