Before and after

Kind of a repost about my 650b conversion but I thought I’d share these pics because the changes between the before and after are so crazy subtle. I was looking at these pictures and they’re almost a perfect before and after, really lets you see how small the difference is- admittedly I do feel the difference but maybe it’s just placebo since I’m expecting one. So far I like how the 650b conversion feels, on 26 it just always felt a bit slow like I couldn’t pick up the pace no matter how hard I pedaled whereas these feel like I can really get going and then hold that speed at a good cadence but it’s hard to suggest the upgrade seeing how much it could cost you. I got crazy lucky, I got the 650b wheels used for a great deal on marketplace and the brakes and derailleur I had just worked so I practically was able to just throw the wheels onto the bike, but I know that’s not always gonna be the case. I hope this helps anyone who might be considering the conversion. I mostly use the bike as a commuter so I wanted to move a little quicker alongside traffic and wanted to build something I can potentially go on longer touring rides or bike packing rides. Maybe two day ride out to a local campsite or something so maybe that’s also something to consider if you ever are thinking of switching.
