19 Deep | 29 Wide Ext | 25 Wide Int | 1594g
THE SECOND IN A LINE OF MASON X HUNT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. THE GO-TO 650B/27.5" WHEELS FOR YOUR GRAVEL/BIKEPACKING RIG
19 Deep | 29 Wide Ext | 25 Wide Int | 1594g
The Purpose
The second MASON x HUNT collaboration, bringing go-anywhere capabilities to bikes like the fast, fun and highly-versatile MasonCycles.cc Bokeh. The new breed of Adventure Sport focused bikes have the ability and attitude for those fun trail thrashes and bike-packing adventures, whilst not compromising anything for fast-far road days. Read More
The opportunity to open up your riding comes from bikes which have geometry designed to ride excellently with both 700c or 27.5" (650b) wheels. This combination works thanks to the extra volume in a 2" x 27.5" tyre, providing an almost identical external tyre diameter to a normal road sized 700c wheel with a 33mm tyre, leaving the bike geo unchanged. What was needed was a bike that could accommodate the extra tyre width, while still running road groupsets, geo and components. That is exactly what Mason have created, and perfected with their incredible eye-for-detail.
We’re delighted to have designed the wheels for the job. These wheels will perfectly compliment other gravel bikes with dual 650b/700c compatibility. Oh, and if you are looking for a 700c wheelset for your drop bar adventure/go-anywhere bike, then our 4 SEASON GRAVEL DISC would be well worth a look. Read Less

Max system weight 135kg (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 115kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use minimum 30mm tyres at max 70psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
-
Hi can these wheels be converted to use 12 speed
Yes indeed, for 12 speed SRAM simply select the XD-R freehub driver, for Shimano Microspline simply add a note in the comments section as you pass through check out, If you already have a pair of wheels, let us know your order number so that we can check the hub version to make sure microspline is compatible.
-
what 650b wheelset would you recommend for a cannondale topstone carbon? front axle is 12x 110mm, and rear axle is 12x148mm and can you dish the rear wheel for cannondale AI offset(6mm)
Either our Mason X Hunt 650 ASD or our carbon 650 Adventure Carbon disc wheelsets would be a good choice for your Cannondale Topstone Carbon, our carbon wheels are a little lighter and also have a higher impact resisitance so will offer the rider a wheelset that accelerates, climbs well & is super durable- you would need to get the rear wheel dished at your local bikeshop in order to fit the AI rear end, this is a simple process that many of our riders have had done. As a note the rear is 142 x 12mm on a Topstone Carbon.
-
What are the benefits of 650B compared with 700c?
650B wheels have a smaller diameter than 700c, meaning you are able to use wider tyres (depending on your frame clearance) and these can be run at lower pressures. Wider tyres at lower pressures can offer improved traction and soak up the bumps of technical terrain. Please check to ensure your bike is compatible with both 650b and 700c.
-
Looking to run a 11 speed shimano ultegra cassette , would these be able to take it being 135 mm as for a cannondale caadx?
Yes indeed, the standard Shimano / SRAM freehub body is Shimano 9/10/11/12 speed compatible.
