Anyone tried to put the new 650 x 47 setup in a 26" mtb frame and forks? Obviously running discs. I have a lovely 26" frame and forks in my basement. Can't find any measurements on't interweb.
Depends on exact clearances, 47mm might be tight, but chances are it'll fit unless it's a 90s MTB with not much room.
You won't know unitl you get your measuring stick out!
I have a set on my Whyte Glencoe, I will have a go later and let you know.
It's a 2010, I believe mk2 soul with Reba dual air forks (the last best versions) so clearance for 26 x 2.3 tyres easily. I know you could fit 700c in a 26" but the toe overlap was an issue, but that was a 90's frame I tried that in. Road plus is 650c?, so smaller diameter. Do 47c tyres make the overall diameter back up to 700c with say 34 mm tyres on?
About that.Do 47c tyres make the overall diameter back up to 700c with say 34 mm tyres on?
I have photo's they aren't working for some reason.
the 650b with 47c tyres do fit into a Clubroost stinger 26" wheeled frame and forks
