Plus you don't have anything to lend others. 700c on the right frame can work fine for smaller riders. 650b has some advantages plus a lot of bike geek buzz. Most non-geeks would benefit from cross comparability over niche bike-geek cool factor. | |
| Mar 13, 2016 at 21:16 | comment | added | paparazzo | @Rider_X Come on. So carry two tubes because of a non-standard size. I will take that for fit every time. On a club ride no one will have 650b? | |

At races or charity rides neutral wheel support will only have 700c. On club rides no one will have 650b tubes. Unless you are only riding on your own, nonstandard wheel sizes can be a hassle. | |
