All The Six Fifty Bees Thread! (650b, 27.5 etc.).

Are the gravelkings tubeless? Can't see any mention of that in the description on CRC. That would be awesome!

yep tubes .. dont even know if they are tubeless compatible

I've just done some 'internet' research and several reviews mention them being tubeless compatible up to 60psi - which is higher than I would go
I used Mtb none tubless tyres for years and never had any issue, I wouldn't use non tubeless tyres at high pressure but I will only be running these at 40ish

£24 here but the big ones are only on preorder...

I got mine from Hunt wheels .. £55 posted.

Anyway I built a Diverge with 650b wheels to replace pub/commuter bike:

Next step is to install some SKS mudguards. I've also ordered a China carbon seatpost so the silver one is just a placeholder.

Mega fun.

I thought Gravel King was a Conti brand.

Have the lawyers not been alerted yet?

Are you commuting up Ventoux? That cassette....

I must have ordered the last two from their this morning as well as 700 x 32 for the datum

Sweet 🔥🔥🔥

nice build, 1x11 is def the way to go unless you are racing

r u a millionaire

Trek is at least 3x cooler than that bike. No offence or anything... that's just a hybrid.

Bikeradar >>>>>>

Yes. Having re-examined I am in total agreement. This bike has not been a resounding forum success, has it! :-P

Hybrids are the new thing!

Tbf these things will make it an instant cool

Hybrid is just another word for:

And I'm firmly entrenched in the camp, where I want my bike to do all the things..

edit: also, this is so good looking.

Are you sure you can stick that front rack on a carbon fork? That's my issue with upcoming Sequoia, I don't think front rack + carbon fork is a great idea... Thoughts?

the cheapest sequoia has a steel fork.

no idea, can try tho .. pizza rack is what I am thinking.

Totally didn't see that coming! That looks nicely proportional to boot AND slam dat stem!

Needs some slick black guards and a rack. Pizza above all (apart from 24pack) Not sure why everyone praises the Pelagos. Pizza quality is far better. I load mine up with around 10+kg daily and it hasn't made a squeek yet.

It's a gravel/road touring bike and the fork has low rider mounts, can't see why there'd be an issue.

More to the point @amey is the fork tapered? PS sweet hybrid

Good luck installing mudguard on those.

Are you sure you can stick that front rack on a carbon fork?

As long it's on the mudguard eyelit and the fork crown, it'll be fine as those area are usually quite strong.

gonna give it to a shop

Today put a deposit down on a Halo Vapour wheelset for an upcoming project. Other than Compass is there a cheapish go to 42c width tanwall tyre? Seems gravel kings are just black and WTB Horizons are only 47c.
