you built Chub hubs to 650b wheels so you could run 47c tires on your fixie? can we be friends?
serious talk, does it affect corning/crank clearance?

Hey friend. Nope, crank clearance and cornering are all good! Because of how big the tires are, their outer diameter is similar to a 700x28, so no real drop in BB height.

love this thing. what did you find you maxed out at with 700c's. I want to blend two bikes together. I have a soma rush that I absolutely love but tire size can be an issue and a fairdale weekender that I was using for groceries and lazier commuting. I'm looking to find a tight enough and fun enough geo with later wheel clearance to run maybe a 42c but more then likely ill have to settle with 38's
I've also got a crust bombora that is my long haul kinda guy.
