I've tried a few different wheel and tire combos on this bike and I love how much it changes the character of the bike. Started out with 650×2.0 WTB Rangers, then 700×40 Schwalbe G-one RS, followed by 700×35 Continental GP5K, and now 650×2.2 Continental Dubnital. This has allowed me to do a 315km road ride, countless gravel day rides, a bit of singletrack riding, and some longer multi day bikepacking adventures. Yes this is just the duality of a gravel bike but I love using it to the fullest. I think long term I'd like to keep my dual wheelset as this 650×2.2 and the other as a 700×45 fast gravel set like the G-one RS. I'm looking forward to doing more bikepacking and more unloaded singletrack. Really curious how far this can encroach on territory I normally ride with my hardtail MTB.

    Nice bike! How’s the tire clearance at the back with 700c ? The specs says it is limited to 40mm…wouldn’t work with your plan to use 45mm?
