Does anybody know a source of 650B rims and tyres in the UK?

Much appreciated Gary

    Wiggle do Michelin and Conti tyres in 650x23. There's some stuff on eBay as well.

    Thanks for that link. 650 at 23c will be too skinny for me.
    Seen a pair of Hilary Stone rims on the bay but they will go for a big price.
    I was thinking of Velocity Synergy or Rigida ZAC-19R I know they are out there but not easy to source. Rivendell do a budget 650B wheel set for $250. I can't find anything like that here or in Europe.

    you'll be lucky, stick an advert in the back of the VCC News and Views and wait.....a long ....time, I got a pair of NOS Weinmann 650B rims after about 18 months of trying, for tyres you will be luckier, I think Decathlon stocks Michelin world tour in 650b x 37mm.

    Cheers Steve I will probably order some from the US but I may now be looking at 451 rims as well and that is looking like a similar situation.
