Is a maxis high roller effectivly a 650b
A 2.4 tyre is about a 27.2-3 I think. 650b is about 700mm diameter depending on the tyre.

That would explain why when I used 2.4 Rubber Queens it felt like my bike had caterpillar tracks and just rolled over everything, no slipping, no going in the holes just amazing :). Shame the mud clearance was non-existant

...which is 693mm diameter so not far off 650b size with a 2.35 High Roller or similar if the above is correct.
does that mean my 29er with 2.4 tyres is a 30.5er?
2.4 Rubber Queens are epic!
OP - yes, every size.
It's a con!

Yes, if the highroller is a 2.5" and the 650b rim has 1.5" tyre they will be approximately the same size. If the 650b has a 2.5" highroller then no.
A 650b rim is almost exactly 1" larger in diameter than a 26" rim.

I can tell the difference between a 26" 2.25 tyre and a 650b 2.25 tyre. Both Ralphs. There is a different feel to the bike. For the same size tyre, 650b will be about 1" larger diameter.
