Hi,
I have a set of 650B wheels, with cassette, tires & tubes, and Silver brand extra long reach side pull brakes for sell.
This is a good set up to convert a suitable 700C bike to 650B.
Cost $410, and I'll cover UPS ground to lower 48.

Details;
Rims are Velocity Synergy, spokes are DT double butted. Front wheel was hand built by Rich at Rivendell. Front hub is 105, & rear is Campagnolo Centaur. Cassette is 9-speed 13-26. Tires are Pacenti Paris-Moto all black, plus a pair of Red 42 Hectre tires. Rim strips are cotton tape (Velox or equal)
The wheel have maybe 1000 miles. The side walls are not worn, dented, or damaged. The hub bearings are great.
The brakes are Silver brand with good pads, long reach.

I've got some photos on my Flickr page:

Even though the photo's show the entire bike, only the brakes, and wheels are for sell at the $410.

Cheers!

Sorry to go off topic, but can you offer some comparison on your
experience with Pari Motos and Hetres?

Is the 650B setup still available? Just got a frame that it would be good for.

Thanks
