![]() I'm a big fan of the Panaracer Pasela PT's and went with the 1.75 " version. Ali Clarkson's video on YouTube was a big help, though it still required a few goes to get everything right. Also a big shout out to Sunny Spokes for affordable spokes/nipples on eBay. Velocity was super kind in selling me some Cliffhanger "blems" (not sure what part was blemished but the discount was much appreciated) and I paired them with XTR M900 hubs I found on eBay. I wanted to do a 650b conversion, if for nothing else to force myself to learn how to wheel build, and to do something even more unique. There were a number of hurdles and learning experiences to be had, given most of my knowledge is rooted in modern mountain bikes. While I'd been putting off the build for some time, quarantine finally gave me time to dive in deep. ![]() ![]() When I got it, it had the fork, headset, quill stem, seized seat post and mangled BB. ![]() I found this 1994 Giant Iguana frame in a shed last year. ![]()
