650b is marketing genius. People think they are getting a wheel that is 1.5″
larger than 26. They are not. Not even close. Maybe 1/2″ or 3/4″ difference
depending on tire. Everyone is drinking the koolaid. 650 is being forced on
the consumer. Some of us like 26 just for compatabiliy. 27.5 does not really
offer much advantage, nor disadvantage but great for bike sales $$
