  :D.. it is part lockdown project, going to try and make the code more sophisticated next and part my setup means the computer is a bit of a stretch

  Fully nerded out and built from a kit, a Pi keyboard for trainerroad with Garmin out front mount.

  Green = make it harder
  Blue = toggle ERG/Resistance
  Red = make the pain go away

  Turns out it's really good for avoiding cadence death spiral in ERG.

  Getting some 650b wheels built up by the forums Arkane Wheels. 25mm internal for 47-50c tubeless. Loaded gravel riding, possibly Iceland divide but more likely places like the Jurassic coast, thanks COVID. Forum approved all-rounder? Probably best to avoid tanwalls given the vomit inducing shade of green..

  I thought arkose could fit 50mm tyres?

  I'm sure it could, I guess that it Evans being cautious and allowing for clearance

  How would it make the wheelswap easier?

  If the circumference is the same between 700x28 and 650b, in theory is a straight swap

  Wow that was a lot of temptation :D

  Arkose can take 700 x 45c tyres, it can also accept a 650b tyre up to 2”

  Think i'd be better spending the money toward a trip than gaining 5mm - though it would make swapping wheels when the bike has mudguards on really easy.

  Really tempted to get some wheels built up in 650b to run 50c tyres - tempted to ride the Iceland divide but also tempted to enter or ride something like Badlands or the Atlas mountain race.

  Any regrets? This is for an Arkose.
