Carney's New 650B Wheel

Carney's been coming on strong lately, and to further his pursuit of radness he just built himself a new 650B front wheel. This is the first time I've seen a 650B on the front of a trick fixie, and I gotta say it seems pretty reasonable. For those who might not be familiar, 650B is an old standard that has been gaining traction in the mtb and trekking world lately. It is a little larger than a 650c but smaller than a 700. Although with a tire that fat on the front, it's pretty similar to a 700 X 23 in effective diameer.Word on the street is that he's now in the market for a smaller lighter tire, that trekking one is alot of meat.

Also great turnout at TnD last night!
