  • Surprised people get away with 650b on a Omnium. When I tried I was scraping pedals all the time, and only really gained a few millimeters in tyre size.

    The wi-fi's look really great. Would love an off-road cargo bike.

  • it’s mostly because I need a new wheel anyway. 650 should be a bit stronger than 700, and I have other 650 wheels just in case spokes start snapping etc. can swap one in temporarily.

    I use it pretty much exclusively for work so while wifi would be nice it’s a fairly unnecessary upgrade.

    will get dimpling and give it a test run.

  • Let us know if you have pedal strike issues.

  • Your rear wheel may be marginally stronger but you'll most likely (not an engineer) weaken the chain stay with a dimple, and possibly introduce a stress riser. Worth bearing in mind if strength is your motivation.
