r/gravelbike

I was about to pull the trigger on some (lightly used) 650b gravel wheels for my Crux 4 so I could run a 2.1 tire. Then I decided to should check to make sure I could find tires. It seems like anything that would function well for this wheel set is sold out and I'm not sure they are coming back. Is the 650b gravel standard dead? Should I avoid this wheel and just be happy with my 50mm tires I'm squeezing in there?

I have been visiting Finland for a long time, and this was the first time I was able to take a bike. I had planned a weeklong bikepacking tour, but injuries prevented that. What an incredible place to ride! Drivers are respectful, the terrain is relatively flat and cycling infrastructure is world class. Next spring I'm going back for that weeklong bikepacking trip!
