650B update - Its coming!

bfd said:

The 650B movement is moving! According to Reknown Framebuilder Kirk
Pacenti, there is an interest by *8 or 9 BIG mfrs* to fill in the 26"
and 29er size tires with the new 27.5 inch size (that's reads: 650B to
many). Check it out:

"I received 12 pairs of sample tires from
Panaracer last week. Many of these tires are
already in the hands of some very influential
companies, who are interested in pursuing this
wheel size to compliment the existing 26 and
29 inch standards. There may be as many as 8-9
companies showing 27.5" wheeled MTB's at
Interbike this year.

As for a ride report, look for one in Dirt Rag
in August or September. They have been testing
my NAHBS show bike and will issue a full
report soon.

I will be doing several press-releases between
now and Interbike, as well as "show dailies"
during the event to promote the tires,
builders using them and the booths in which
the bikes are displayed. You all will be
hearing much more about this wheel size soon.

Any builders interested in the tire specs and
drawing please contact me off-list. I will be
happy to answer any questions you might have
about tires, rims, forks and other components.

Best regards,

Kirk Pacenti"

You see that?! "MANY OF THESE TIRES ARE ALREADY IN THE HANDS OF SOME
VERY INFLUENTIAL COMPANIES!!!!" Further, he states "THERE MAY BE AS
MANY AS 8-9 COMPANIES SHOWING 27.5" MTBs AT INTERBIKE THIS YEAR!!!"

650B or its new name 27.5" is the new thing, are you in? If not, you
better get with it!!!!!

So, when are you gonna convert your Calfee to 650B?

Before we go there, let's all run out to buy 7.5-Volt DC Russian
computer systems! It's a fine standard, all the space station gear runs
on it.

Microsoft? Apple? pssshhhh - all so very 'nineties'

Whoa, there, big fella. Let's not count chickens while they are still
in the shell. "Many" tires and "some" companies still adds up to
vaporware. I'll believe it when I see Trek's 650B offering.

What about the 600A size at 540mm? Think of all the stumpy people that
want road bikes that could benefit from this size! Think of the
children!!

We are introducing the ISO 626-mm tire to satisfy those discriminating
cyclists who find the ISO 622-mm (700C) too small, but the ISO 630-mm
(27-inch) too large.

Out next product will be a folder with ISO 352-mm wheels, which will
offer a significant advantage over the smaller ISO 349-mm Brompton
wheels while being much more compact than the Birdy with its ISO 355-mm
wheels.

Aka ISO 540-mm and 24x1-3/8-inch tire. The ISO 540-mm size was used on
the first generation ATP Vision Saber and according to Sheldon Brown [1]
is commonly found on wheelchairs and British juvenile bicycles.

Funnily enough... Rivendell has stopped using standard seatpost clamp
bolts on their bikes. They now use a nut and bolt you can buy in any
hardware store. Elitist [censored]!

As long as they're re-animating the dead (e.g., 650B), why not just
bring back French threads, for starters?

Beyond silliness. World's Most Annoying Tire Format; There are -540 and
also -541; one never seems to have the right diameter tire in the
desired model.
