Santa Cruz Chameleon now 650b!

Looks better with those bars. Renthal bars are such a good shape, I just can't get past the colour (sad I know). I think I prefer it with less colour on it too.

Wha do you think of the 650b wheels? I know had a 650b hardtail be I'm not sure if I can really tell the difference. A good bike is a good bike.

Re:

Much difference being 650b cant see it makes that much difference?

I'm a big fan of the Renthals they match my fork uppers, they are a bit of a marmite love/hate though as don't suit all bikes...each to theor own though!

as for the 650b, I've been out a couple of times now and it does seem a bit faster, that might be down to the racing ralphs at 40psi though, it certainly feels more responsive, I've always been a fan of 26 inch wheels but I think I prefer the 650b for longer distance riding

Re:

Interesting, I'm still a bit unconvinced on the bigger size at the mo. Tyres can make a big difference so could be a factor.

Lovely bike though
