Have you tried a 650B tire and Wheel? Am curious as to what the largest size that would work. Wondering also what the trail number is for the bike. Can't find it on geometry lisitings..
I have a pair of Raddler's by WTB that are 44 and there is more room. I have a pair of 650b wheels that I have not set up yet and am hoping a 2.0 will work up front.
I just purchased the WTB Raddler which runs 700x44 ... running tubeless. Great side knobs ... A beefed up wtb riddler You can get a 700x45 in there for sure... Not sure about the 27.5 size as I want that as well in an…
Hi There is a guy with a youtube blog called the Path less Pedaled and I believe he lives there. He is really into gravel riding and may be a really good resource for you. Just a thought.
How big could you go if you wanted to? I was told 2.1 up front and 2.0 in the back on a 650b.
Also looks like there are quite a few bay area riders with this bike. Astradero.... I live in the East Bay.
Hey Fishman, Curious as to the internal width of your wheels. Nice full tire on those.

Hi 7 rider Glad I looked at your post. Have the same bike and am looking to buy 650b for the rough stuff. Lots of room in fork and in Chain Stay....? Do you think a 2.1 up front and 2.0 in rear 650 b for max tire size…

Hi thanks for the response. It is interesting what the real definition of singletrack is. I have seen double track that is more rocky and rooty than some of the smooth singletrack. I like some technical stuff but it…
I'm not a commuter. I'm really trying to decide between buying a lighter weight hardtail for trails or saving some money and adding a 650b wheelset with 2.1 or so tires for trail riding. No drops or jumps.
Have a 29er hardtail and use it occaisionally.... A lot heavier than the roker and do I really need it for what I do? I like the challenge on being on most trails with the Roker..... faster and I'm not ever going to do…
Thanks for the response... Don't blame you for that.... Try to stay in one piece for gosh sakes!
No, I have the wheel set (700c) but on WTB website it shows bikes that can take both sizes and the roker is one. Good idea about buying and selling wheelset. The bike is pristine as I've rapped the whole bike in…
Hello out there... I bought a Raleigh Roker comp and like it. I enjoy riding Forest, singletrack, dirt and a little road/gravel with it. I don't do drops or jumps and even with a mountain bike probably would not do much…
Drop Bar Mountain bike would be perfect as it is also still a gravel/road bike with the 700 tires. Yes... According to the WTB site it will be compatible with 650b's and my understanding is 2.0 in the rear and 2.1 up…
I know that WTB's website lists bikes that can take the 700 and 650b wheels and tires but they probably are not considering pedal strike. The roker is on that site My feeling is as long as you are not going over huge…
I think 650b wheels will be a bit stronger than 700 and I won't have to change tires everytime and I'm thinking the feel of the ride will be different with larger tires and 650b wheels. That way you have one dedicated…
Well.... I am not riding switchbacks with roots etc.... I'm not even into that type of trail riding with a mountain bike. I have a feeling the 650b tires will be just fine on the roker for trails and not lower the…
